\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe implantation of a total artificial heart is a technological feat that can extend patients\u2019 longevity and improve their quality of life. A complex project where Expleo brought its expertise in advanced electronics and offered first-class technical support.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Heart failure is the leading cause of death worldwide. Faced with this major public health issue, Expleo has been providing key technical support services since 2014 to a pioneering biotech that has developed an artificial heart to prolong the life of patients suffering from end-stage heart failure or awaiting a heart transplant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Thanks to the experience it has acquired on complex projects in the technical-medical field, Expleo has been able to offer technical assistance and electronic development, specification and testing services, throughout the entire project and especially on the external part \u2013 an electronic box connected to the artificial heart. This communication device for patient use, which contains the power supply system for the artificial heart, has been adapted by Expleo to serve as an interface. It provides basic information on the heart\u2019s function and can raise an alarm in the event of a potential failure. During the project, Expleo also provided technical support as part of the subcontracting of complete sub-assemblies, with subcontracting specification, including CEM expertise, specification of the particular need for a pressure sensor module and subcontracting management (PCB modifications).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThis project allowed me to understand all the complexity of the heart\u2019s hydraulic system. The artificial heart developed can prolong the life of a patient by five years or allow them to survive while waiting for a donor, this is a highly motivating principle.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n Client Benefits <\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

The client expressed its satisfaction with Expleo\u2019s operational excellence in terms of budget and deadline, and the very good quality of the deliverables. In December 2021, Expleo\u2019s client achieved a highly significant step in the commercialisation of the artificial heart when it obtained the CE Marking in the \u201cBridge to Transplant\u201d (BTT) indication.<\/p><\/span> <\/div>\r\n \r\n
