Bio-mechanical Simulations of Resuscitation

Funded by Dassault Systemes Foundation - India

Dassault systes foundation, India

La Fondation Dassault Systèmes provides grants, training, and expertise about 3D virtual universe technologies to help schools, universities, research centres, museums and associations in Europe, the U.S. and India to push the limits of knowledge. Its mission is to inspire young people with a passion for engineering, science and digital technology to create a better and more collaborative society.

Project: Bio-mechanical Simulations of Resuscitation

Motivation


  • The physiological insights of cardiac tissues will help in future development of automated high quality and smart CPR device.
  • The physiological insights of cardiac tissues will greatly help the biomechanical, biomedical and clinical communities about the process of resuscitation at greater depth.


About Project

  • The AHA Guidelines for CPR process is based on observations and best practices. No quantitative studies are made so far.
  • The primary aim is to develop fundamental insights of cardiac tissues.
  • Experimental studies of conductive tissues are to be carried out
  • Constitutive model for electro-mechananical tissues
