Research and product development timeline
2026
Epicardio Simulation™ is a real-time 3D electromechanical model of the heart. Based on FEM, intra- / extra-cellular simulations and a neural cellular automaton, it forms an intelligent self-organised system for complex dynamic cardiac modelling. As such, the system can be trained to reproduce complex arrhythmic and pathological cardiac states. It is capable of responding to stimulation, such as pacing, ablation and drug administration, while generating accurate ECG/EGM signals in real-time.
