Artificial Heart

All over the world, people need heart surgery or a heart replacement to survive. But in most places, donor hearts are hard to come by – especially one with a biological fit for the patient.

The Artificial Heart is based on the topology space theory and the catastrophe theory. The process which embodies a Klein Bottle by optical polymerization system is applied. Ideas, such as mind-and-body correlation and a distributed circulation system, are proposed as an advanced design of an artificial heart. The structure of a Dance Egg is used as the base of forms, and undulation pump, control, a battery and sensor unit are mounted. ‘Dance Egg’ is a name of form in the topology space theory, and by transforming the Dance Egg into a medical sphere, the symbolism is embedded to a human body and an ultimate artificial thing is created.

What’s different from conventional artificial hearts is that the designer aimed to integrate the workings of the sympathetic nerve system as an information system to correspond with the basic pump function. The main feature is that the heartbeats change with psychological shifts. For example, when you are in love, your heart will beat excitedly.

In addition, the Artificial Heart design aims to incorporate our psychological needs.
