ETH Researchers From The Functional Materials Laboratory Have Developed A Silicone Heart That Beats Almost

ETH researchers from the Functional Materials Laboratory have developed a silicone heart that beats almost like a human heart. The soft artificial heart was created from silicone using a 3D-printing, lost-wax casting technique; it weighs 390 grams and has a volume of 679 cm3. They proved that the soft artificial heart fundamentally works and moves in a similar way to a human heart. However, it still has one problem: it currently lasts for about only 3,000 beats, which corresponds to a lifetime of half to three quarters of an hour. After that, the material can no longer withstand the strain.

Automation Is The Key To Better Patient Care

Automation is the Key to Better Patient Care

Automation has become an integral part of daily life and a necessity for carrying out different processes across various industries including healthcare. Automation acts as the silver bullet for health care providers, who often face seemingly inconsistent demands with regard to cost reductions, efficient service to patients, and improved quality of care. 

It’s important for healthcare providers to ensure that their services run smoothly and that they aren’t compromising the patient experience to achieve it, and one way to ensure that is to automate daily processes such as administering non-intravenous medications, data collection, reading radiological scans, and more such complex activities. 

Automation Is The Key To Better Patient Care

Automation would save time by carrying out repetitive tasks, reduce labor costs, increase precision and reduce errors—making it possible to acquire real-time data thereby enabling to provide improved diagnosis and allowing healthcare professionals to focus on other core processes. 

For instance, appointment reminder systems like JustReminIt and TeleVox automate the process of reminding patients about their appointments. Instead of calling each patient, these systems automatically remind people of their upcoming schedules or remind them of their missed ones; through customized messages
