Abstract :
Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) have been lately considered as an efficient destination therapy for heart disease, achieving remarkable survival scores. This paper presents an integrated end-to-end VAD patient architecture consisting of a web-based HL7 compatible Specialist Monitoring Application, an Android-based Patient Monitoring Application and a portable embedded Auto-Regulation Unit is described, delivering for the first time an interconnected solution that not only combines the characteristics of EHR systems and allows the efficient monitoring of patients´ and VAD status, but also enables the remote control, configuration and auto-regulation of any VAD.
