This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.

Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, the placement frequency of permanent pacemakers has increased due to some risk factors, some of which are carried out through cables. Objective: To determine the prevalence and related factors of permanent pacemaker implantation in adult patients in the cardiology department of José Calasco Artega hospital in 2017. Methods: a randomized cross–sectional study was conducted on 422 patients over 18 years old in the cardiology department of “José Carrasco Arteaga” hospital in Cuenca, Ecuador from January to December 2017. Information is processed in SPSS software version 24. Descriptive statistical analysis based on frequency and percentage was used to measure the statistical correlation with odds ratio (or) within 95% confidence interval. When p<0.05, it was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The implantation rate of cardiac pacemaker was 7.1%, and the average age was 65.52 years (DS±14.77), mainly male. The risk factors associated with pacemaker implantation were atrioventricular block or 42.56 (95% confidence interval: 16.06–112.73, p=0.000); Sinoatrial node disease or 59.34 (95% CI: 11.67–301.93, P=0.000) and others or 0.017 (95% confidence interval: 0.00–0.05, p=0.000). Atrial fibrillation was not statistically significant or 1.71 (95% confidence interval: 0.62–4.71, p=0.354). Conclusion: The prevalence of pacemaker implantation is 7.1%, which is related to atrioventricular block, which is the main risk factor, followed by nodular diseases.
