Development of a Leadless Cardiac Pacing Device

Dr. Maeve Duffy, Furqan Noor

The approach to this project consists of two main themes: 1. Development of leadless technology for maximising power delivery; and 2. Design and development of an implantable leadless bi-ventricular cardiac pace-making device. The challenge of the proposed work is to provide sufficient power to a wireless receiver circuit that must be small enough to fit within the vasculature. It will require developments in electronic circuitry and biomedical delivery devices.

Start date: 1st of May 2008. This project is currently active.
