Team Bath Heart
University of Bath, Bath, UK
We are Team Bath Heart, competing to design the next artificial heart from the University of Bath in southwestern England. As a university, through competition teams, we are always challenging ourselves to be part of the next big innovation. The Heart Hackathon has the potential to save lives, and this is what drives our team. As the reigning champions of the competition, we are excited to come back stronger this year. With a bigger and more diverse team of talented individuals we will continue contributing to the global development of total artificial hearts.
Monash Heart Hack
Monash University, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
Monash Heart Hackathon (MHH) is a student-run team who compete in the world-first biomedical engineering design competition, Heart Hackathon. The founding team is comprised of Monash University students from a range of disciplines and faculties, including biomedicine, engineering, medicine, science and design. The students are working to pave the way for future MHH teams by setting up the frame-work for documenting design and processes. The team is lead by Upper Management: Riona Elsous and Brian Occhipinti who work collaboratively with their respective Materials, Mechanical and Electrical Department Heads in technical aspects of the total artificial heart development.
MAVIS Artificial Heart
Universitatea de Medicină și Farmacie „Grigore T. Popa” Iași, ROMÀNIA
We are a diverse team of students from various academic backgrounds, including Medical Bioengineering, Pharmacy, and Medicine, while having Mr. Alexandru Plesoianu by our side as main advisor, who has a Ph.D. in mechanical circulatory systems. Our goal is to develop a device that will last for more than 10 years and easily fit both adult and pediatric patients. The MAVIS Artificial Heart aims to provide optimum cardiac output, enhance the quality of life, and minimize the risk of side effects.
Mending Broken Hearts
University of New South Wales, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA
We are a team of undergraduate students hailing from UNSW and our strength is our diversity! We boast an impressive range of academic backgrounds including Medicine, Medical Sciences, Computer Science as well as Engineering under the majors of Mechanical, Mechatronic and Biomedical. As such, we have each been able to bring forth the expertise provided by our respective fields and collaborate productively. We are driven by innovativeness and grounded by humanity which ultimately lies at the core of what we are solving. We hope our total artificial heart brings us one step closer to a solution.
AUC Peribsen
The American University in Cairo, Cairo, EGYPT
Driven by a deep motivation to increase quality of life for patients suffering from heart failure, Peribsen is team composed of 12 members, who have engineering, industrial, and research experiences. Peribsen is an Egyptian name that translates to "Hope of all Hearts". The name was chosen by the team as it implies our incentive in attempting to provide a solution for individuals suffering from heart failure, through creating a device that prolongs the life of individuals who suffer the disease to be used as a bridge-for-transplantation until a heart is available for transplantation.
CBU Cardiac Engineering
California Baptist University, California, USA
Representing California Baptist University in the heart of Riverside, California, CBU Cardiac Engineering comprises a diverse team of Biomedical, Chemical, and Mechanical Engineers. We believe that, as engineers, we can mimic Christ in all we do. Striving forward to excel as engineers, we work hard not for our sake but instead for the sake of others. We are driven to pursue a fully implantable, long-lasting cure for heart failure. We envision our innovations one day contributing to the world's first fully implanted total artificial heart.
UC Biomed
University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND
The UC BioMed team is made up of students from the University of Canterbury Biomedical Engineering Club. The club is dedicated to exploring the many ways that engineering can be used to improve human health and well-being. From developing new medical devices to designing innovative therapies. Our team is dedicated to learning about the latest advancements in the field, showing the skills and talent of UC students, and making our mark on the biomedical engineering industry.
Mahidol CardiaTech
Mahidol University, Salaya, THAILAND
This dynamic team of fourteen from Mahidol University, comprising both biomedical engineering, medical students, and high school students, is poised to revolutionize the Total Artificial Heart (TAH) design. Our combined expertise spans a range of essential skills, from intricate engineering to clinical insights. Fueled by passion and a collaborative spirit, we aim to create a TAH that is not only functional but also innovative in its approach to cardiac health.

KTaH
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, SWEDEN
We are a group of 4 1st year students from the Msc and 2 2nd year students of the MSc in Medical Engineering at KTH, Sweden. Our backgrounds are very different, so our team is full of different nationalities. We are ready for the challenge and have a high interest on improving our knowledge on the subject of Artificial Hearts. However, the team is still not completely defined.
