Selected Projects

The following is an overview of selected projects that Pacemaker Club has completed for clients. 

Online Surveys
Pacemaker Club has conducted an online survey on behalf of a leading device manufacturer.  The purpose of the survey was to learn what online information recipients want, how satisfied recipients are with their manufacturer and the importance of various attributes when requesting a particular brand of device.  Our client was very satisfied and said the final report contained "incredible information". 

Direct Mail
Pacemaker Club searched the Internet to find and develop a database of contact information for 1,500 pacemaker and defibrillator clinics in North America.  This database was then used to power a traditional direct mail campaign on behalf of Biophan Technologies, a developer of cutting-edge technologies with the goal of making all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).  

Advocacy
On behalf of recipients, Pacemaker Club has mailed letters to all device manufacturers urging them to make their devices MRI safe.    A dedicated webpage was also posted on our website, which asked recipients to contact their manufacturer about making devices MRI-safe.  Manufacturer reply letters acknowledged the importance of this safety improvement and one publicly pledged to make their devices MRI-safe.

Pacemaker Club provided written comments on the Heart Rhythm Society’s Task Force Draft Recommendations on Device Performance Policies and Guidelines that was published in 2006. 

Product Development
Pacemaker Club has provided product design and marketing guidance to Osun Technologies for their Pace-alert, a product that detects magnetic fields and warns recipients prior to them interfering with a device. 

e-Marketing
Pacemaker Club volunteers time to promote and raise funds for Heartbeat International, a non-profit charity with a mission of Making “Poor” Hearts Beat Better.
