Wearable SR devices, also called subcutaneous SR devices or transdermal SR devices, are small electronic devices that are placed under the skin, usually on the chest. The device is connected to a lead that is threaded underneath the skin to the right ventricle of the heart. The lead delivers electrical impulses to the heart that pace it and prevent it from going into cardiac arrest.
The wearable SR tools are powered by a battery that is placed under the skin, usually in the upper chest area. The battery can last for up to 10 years before it needs to be replaced. When the battery needs to be replaced, the entire device is removed and a new one is implanted.

The device is programmed using an external computer. The settings on the device can be changed if needed. For example, if the patient's heart rate becomes too slow, the pacing rate can be increased.
The wearable SR device is checked regularly with an external wand that sends out electromagnetic waves. The waves are used to check that the device is working properly and that there are no problems with the lead placement.
Wearable SR devices can give patients more freedom and improve their quality of life since they do not have to worry about using a pacemaker.
There are many potential benefits of wearable SR devices. These devices have the potential to improve safety for both the user and those around them. They also have the potential to improve the quality of life for users by providing them with more independence and a greater sense of security.
