In CardiacCare@Home, researchers work together with patients, doctors, industry, and others to develop technology for home-based monitoring of cardiac function and rehabilitation. This approach facilitates early detection of worsening of cardiac function, which allows doctors to rapidly alter treatment and prevent hospitalisation. Moreover, home-based rehabilitation will improve patients’ fitness levels. Technological innovations will facilitate a new care path that improves patients’ quality of life and lower socio-economic costs, and lower burden for hospital staff.

For advanced heart failure, heart replacement is the gold standard. However, due to the limited availability of donor hearts only half of the candidates receive a donor heart. Waiting lists are long and many patients die while on the waiting list. We are developing the Holland Hybrid Heart (HHH): the first functional artificial organ. The HHH will be a soft robotic heart that resembles the healthy human heart as closely as possible. This safe alternative to a donor heart is essential to offer a lifesaving solution for thousands of heart failure patients.

Infective endocarditis, affecting heart tissue and medical devices like pacemakers, is challenging to diagnose and treat. This is because bacteria produce a protective layer called a biofilm that blocks the immune system and antibiotics. As a result, many patients need high-risk surgeries to remove the infected heart tissue or devices. This project aims to clearly understand how bacteria form biofilms in the heart. Additionally, new methods will be developed to diagnose the infection early and effectively treat it using tiny gas bubbles.

Een groep onderzoekers, bedrijven, patiënten en zorgverleners bundelen hun krachten om gezondheidszorg voor patiënten met erfelijke hartziekten te verbeteren. Samen willen zij de vroege detectie van erfelijke hartziekten in patiënten en hun families verbeteren, het risico voor ziekte beter voorspellen, en nieuwe mogelijke behandelingen testen. Verder willen zij bijdragen aan wetenschappelijk verantwoord beleid en aan betere voorlichting en scholing voor patiënten en hun behandelaars die te maken krijgen met erfelijke hartziekten.
