Pencil Bluetooth Connection

Is there a way to use pencil with an IPAD without using bluetooth? I ask because bluetooth interferes with an implantable devices, such as a pacemaker. This will influence whether I purchase the device.

No, the Apple Pencil cannot be used without Bluetooth.

If you have an implantable device that can suffer interference from low power Bluetooth (BTLE) devices such as Apple Pencil, you might also need to consider potential issues with WiFi. 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth use the same ISM Frequency Band - WiFi operating at considerably higher power levels.
