Abstract
Abstract Implantable electronic devices as a valuable biomedical tool are used to treat chronic diseases. However, traditional pacemakers exist a serious risk of complications. A biodegradable, closed‐loop sensor‐actuator system is developed for cardiac rhythm monitoring. This system could achieve autonomous electrotherapy.
