Team Monash Heart Hack(MHH)
The Competition
Heart Hackathon is the world's first total artificial heart design competition, dedicated to enabling, and fostering student-led innovation in cardiovascular design, co-created with world leading academic institutions and industry professionals.​ ​ Through a year-long design process, student teams from around the world (like ours) will scope, design and prototype artificial hearts, culminating in the grand finals at the annual ISMCS Conference - this year its in Dallas, Texas.
The competition will include the application of the human-centered design methodology, consideration of sustainable practices and business planning. ​ ​ The ultimate product of the competition is for all teams to have produced a viable, total artificial heart device, which we will then present to a panel for judgement. ​
