Monitoring system development for driving condition of a Ventricular assist device by using mobile phone

Small-sized implantable ventricular assist device is developed for treat end stage of cardiovascular disease. Implantation of ventricular assist device allow patient to go out. However, monitoring of device driving condition and patient health condition is necessary. In this context, adoption rate of mobile phone is increasing drastically and performance is also increased rapidly. Therefore, a monitoring system for driving condition of a ventricular assist device by using mobile phone is proposed. Moreover, a concept of monitoring system of driving and health condition and mobile phone application for interactive communication with implanted device is discussed. In addition, a concept of connection to the local area network is also discussed.
