Description

Nikolay Vasilyev from the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University delivers a talk titled "Implantable stretchable sensors and soft robotic assist devices for monitoring and therapy of heart failure."

Heart failure represents a significant healthcare burden in the United States and worldwide. With a prevalence of 5.7 million in the U.S., heart failure costs the nation an estimated $30.7 billion each year. About half of people who develop heart failure die within 5 years of diagnosis.

Vasilyev and his team have designed implantable stretchable sensors that continuously monitor ventricular function and assist native ventricular contraction in end-stage heart failure.
