Abstract

Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) have been lately considered as an efficient destination therapy for heart disease, achieving remarkable survival scores. This paper presents an integrated end-to-end VAD patient architecture consisting of a web-based HL7 compatible Specialist Monitoring Application, an Android-based Patient Monitoring Application and a portable embedded Auto-Regulation Unit is described, delivering for the first time an interconnected solution that not only combines the characteristics of EHR systems and allows the efficient monitoring of patients’ and VAD status, but also enables the remote control, configuration and auto-regulation of any VAD.
