Blood2Power Blood as energy source to power smart cardiac devices

Coordinator: I3S - INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACAO E INOVACAO EM SAUDE DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO (PT)

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally, taking 18.6M lives/yr. Most CVD are associated with blockage ofblood vessels. grafts play a vital role, replacing/bypassing these vessels, but have failure rates up to 50% due to thrombosis or infection. Vascular grafts of the future would ideally sense and monitor its performance, and telemetrically emit data/alerts to healthcare system so that medical actions can be performed to avoid graft failure. IoMTs has taken its first steps, but is still far from full potential/development, especially in implantable systems which …
