How we build soft robotic hearts

Published on Feb 14, 2018

Heart In Your Hands invites you to hold a beautifully designed robotic heart beating in time with your own, or of your loved ones, to arouse a deeper appreciation and to inspire empathy toward this hidden engine of our lives.

Engineer Richard Sewell, artist Natasha Rosling and designer Helen White worked closely with biomedical engineer Dr David Nordsletten to design an intimate experience to stimulate a more fundamental understanding of cardiac mechanics and the engineers that are advancing our understanding of our hearts and heart health.

The team developed a bespoke method of building soft robotics technology to give the public the experience of what it would be like to hold their own heart beating in their hands.

In collaboration with Dr David Nordsletten and Biomedical Engineers at King’s College London, Funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the British Heart Foundation.

The virtual human project

Published on Mar 12, 2018

The virtual human project has the potential to transform medicine. The project is already helping to reduce the need for animals in drug testing. In the long term, a virtual version of you will be used test treatments, like a crash test dummy, guinea pig and trial volunteer all rolled into one. Your digital doppelgänger could breathe, blister and bleed. It could be dissected, probed and explored in unprecedented detail, helping to work out the treatments that work best for you.

The film was produced by the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and CompBioMed H2020 Centre of Excellence in Computational Biomedicine, led by University College London.

Robots are making mini human organs with stem cells

Published on Jun 17, 2018

When people have severe medical conditions that attack and destroy their organs they are given little to no options for recovery. Kim Horcher and Matt Atchity talk about new-age robotics that are tending to the creation of organoids. Let us know what you think of robots making organs in the comments below!

How doctors can help A.I. to revolutionize medicine

Published on Aug 9, 2018

Greg Corrado, Co-founder of Google Brain and Principal Scientist at Google, has spent the last decade at the forefront of the A.I. revolution. Greg's vision for how A.I. will help to shape the future of health and medicine is grounded in his experience as a neuroscientist—before he started working on computer neural networks, he was focused on neural networks in the human brain.

From distilling data insights to improving the decision making process, Greg sees a multitude of ways that A.I. and machine learning can help magnify the healing powers of doctors. In fact, he believes that doctors who embrace A.I. will "see their healing powers expand more than they have in a hundred years." Tune in to Greg's 2017 TEDMED Talk to learn more about the enormous role that A.I. and machine learning will play in the future of health and medicine, and why doctors and other healthcare professionals must play a central role in that revolution.
