i get the joke but the pacemaker's mostly just a battery. it doesn't have much more radio than the magnetic/wireless charger your phone uses. very, very short range, no wifi at all. it's the other implants that the pace powers you have to worry about.

"How's the driver of the electrodes' GPIO, Doc?"

"Probably won't fit in flash with the kernel and Apache. But I could rewire the electrodes to UART instead, that seems more practical than interfacing with that weird pulse generator."

Pacemakers can in fact be wirelessly communicated to for diagnostic purposes, and likely do have some type of onboard monitoring system that maybe has a conventional OS. Doubt you could get a normal linux install onto it though, and definitely not an apache server.
