Technology for better heart health
Mojtaba Kheiri, assistant professor of mechanical, industrial and aerospace engineering, is researching the development of a safer, more accurate and more versatile catheter-based technology to be used in cardiac surgery.
He aims to examine the modelling and robot-assisted control of surgical soft robots used during ablation procedures on patients suffering from atrial fibrillation.
The technology is minimally invasive and would cost significantly less than the current sensor-embedded ablation catheters.
