The Pacemaker
Wilson Greatbatch
The editorial brief exposes a critical misattribution: 'The Pacemaker' DJ system (Jonas Norberg, 2008) is falsely presented as Wilson Greatbatch’s invention. Greatbatch co-created the implantable cardiac pacemaker and its lithium-iodide battery — a foundational medical engineering achievement. Norberg built a portable digital DJ tool. They share a name, not a lineage. The conflation undermines both histories.
