Grant: Idea to Innovation
Simon Fraser University
$124,875.00
Diastolic timed vibrator
FY 2010-11
Summary
The applicants propose to develop a non-invasive vibration system suitable for treatment of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. The vibration unit, the ""Diastolic Timed Vibrator"", is to be used as medical emergency system to remediate acute states of low coronary blood flow by imposing mechanical vibrations to the chest of the patient. Primary objective of this research is to validate the viability of developing a wireless unit able to both monitor the cardiac cycle without the need of external devices and generate vibrations to the chest during diastole to safely promote effectiveness of the proposed blood perfusion therapy.
