Abstract

Fully Synthetic Soft Robotic Left-Heart Simulator In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202516667), Thanh Nho Do, James Davies, and co-workers create a fully synthetic soft robotic left-heart simulator that reproduces native cardiac motion and hemodynamics. A programmable fabrication workflow enables patient- and disease-specific geometries, internal structures, and valves. The platform is compatible with clinical echocardiography to diagnose valvular pathologies. It also offers a robust platform for investigating cardiac disease and assessing emerging therapeutic technologies.
