RESEARCH PROJECT

Human hearth modelĀ 

Human hearth model for training cardiac-surgery skills for a simulation-based program

The model imitates an adult beating human heart while seamlessly integrates the electronic components and other surgical elements used during medical procedures, thus, allowing to enhance the perception of an operation room.

With this prototype was possible to sense and record the manipulation of the organ when performing distal and proximal coronary artery anastomosis.
