This video describes how we implemented our Virtual Heart Model on to a FPGA chip and interact with a real pacemaker in real-time. The HOC platform bridges the gap between model simulation and physical testing thus can play a very important role during the device certification process. More details can be found in Heart On a Chip website.

This video was recorded during the 2012 Penn SEAS Senior Design Competition. The Pacemaker Verification System (PVS) team from mLab demonstrated their implementation of Penn Virtual Heart Model on a FPGA board and interact with a commercial pacemaker in real-time. They ended up in the 1st place in the competition. Congratulations to Siriram, Varun and Shilpa!

This video was recorded back in 2009 but still explained the main contributions of our Virtual Heart Model.

Reentry circuit is the primary source for Cardiac Arrhythmia. This video shows the capability of our Virtual Heart Model to model this complex structure, and its response to physician’s inputs during Electrophysiology  Study. More information can be found in the case study section.
