Yes, the brain and the heart are.
We are not talking about those though. We are talking about devices that treat the brain and heart, completely different. Devices that treat the heart are far more complex devices - they have moving parts that need to work seamlessly while submerged in blood. Brain implants are just glorified PCBs in enclosures with electrodes. No moving parts, no motors.
It's also not the first time those things have crossed. We've been doing cochlear implants for decades, neurostim devices for nearly as long. None of this is new (except for the Musk being an ass part)
