Bionic Heart Tissues

The 'Cyborg Heart Patch' Functions and Operates Like a Human Heart

— March 15, 2016 — Tech
Researchers hailing from Tel Aviv University have put together a series of bionic heart tissues dubbed the 'cyborg heart patch' that are man-made, but function just like a human heart. The patch is made from a series of engineered as well as natural parts that allow the mechanical tissues to function like a breathing heart and even self-regulate the patch's function. This revolutionary discovery could potentially save dozens of lives by providing bionic tissue that can help improve and monitor heart function.


The 'cyborg heart patch' is engineered to be used over top of infected heart tissues to help increase functionality. The patch helps the heart to release and contract when it is naturally too weak to do so. The patch is also able to monitor when medication is needed to help support the heart's function.
Trend Themes
1. Bionic Heart Tissues - The development of 'cyborg heart patches' opens up opportunities for the advancement of artificial organs and medical implants.
2. Improved Heart Function - The use of bionic heart tissues can lead to disruptive innovations in the field of cardiology, potentially transforming how heart diseases are managed and treated.
3. Self-regulating Artificial Organs - The integration of natural and engineered parts in the 'cyborg heart patch' paves the way for the development of self-regulating artificial organs, revolutionizing the field of medical device technology.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Devices - The creation of bionic heart tissues opens up new opportunities for the medical device industry to develop innovative solutions for organ replacement and support.
2. Cardiology - The advancements in bionic heart tissues hold the potential to disrupt the cardiology industry by offering improved treatment options for heart diseases and conditions.
3. Biotechnology - The development of the 'cyborg heart patch' highlights the potential for disruptive innovations in biotechnology, as researchers explore the intersection of engineered and natural materials for medical purposes.
