Dassault Systèmes Commercializes Living Heart Project

This high-fidelity scientific model of a four-chamber heart is the first of its kind, the company states. By using this model, manufacturers, researchers and medical professionals will be able to conduct virtual tests and visualize the heart's response to various conditions.

The Living Heart Project is a collaboration between 45 organizations spanning industry, academia and government.

“The availability of the first commercial, physics-based simulated heart marks a significant milestone for digital medical tools that will advance cardiovascular science and directly impact the quality of life of patients,” said Scott Berkey, CEO, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes. “The ‘Living Heart Project’ is proof that our technology can potentially change the course of therapies through simulation of the human body. We will continue to collaborate with the biomedical community and our partners to provide technology and applications that will enhance the experience for heart patients everywhere.”
