Project Summary | Project Information |
---|---|
A Mechanical Heart Model (MHM) is a device that allows for the simulation of human heart function without biologic restraints. As it currently stands, students in BIME 492 are forced to use themselves as subjects when experimenting with heart function. A MHM will allow these students to physically study the heart under different conditions. This allows for the students to gain a more solid foundation in understanding basic heart function. Current MHM devices are too expensive and complex for use by these students.
