HybridHeart
the development of a soft biocompatible artificial heart
Three major research areas.
HybridHeart
Soft elastomeric robotics shell containing actuators and sensors.
HybridHeart
Scaffolds for in-situ engineering of inner lining, valves and vessels.
HybridHeart
A wireless energy transfer system.
The Consortium.
an interdisciplinary group of researchers
and high-tech SME’s
The HybridHeart project will be carried out by an interdisciplinary group of (academic) researchers and high-tech SMEs, with experience in cardiac surgery, TE, soft robotics and engineering. The technology underlying the HybridHeart will be applicable to a range of soft robotics-based artificial organs, including the bowel, lung, or muscle structures (limbs).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 767195
