About
Jason M. Millward is a biomedical engineer whose research sits at the critical intersection of medical device safety and consumer electronics. His most impactful work addresses a pressing clinical concern: the potential for strong magnets in modern smartphones to cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) with active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) like pacemakers and defibrillators. In his landmark 2023 study, Millward developed a high-fidelity 3D stray magnetic field mapping technique to precisely characterize the magnetic emissions from various smartphone models. This work provides the first comprehensive, quantitative evidence that smartphone magnets can produce fields strong enough to potentially compromise patient safety, offering crucial data for clinicians and device manufacturers. With 5 citations already, this foundational study is rapidly shaping safety guidelines and clinical recommendations. Millward’s research is vital for ensuring that technological convenience does not come at the cost of patient well-being, establishing him as a leading voice in the emerging field of consumer electronics safety for implantable device patients.
