Executive Summary
Paris-based start-up Carmat has developed an artificial replacement heart that relies on high-tech sensor technology similar to that used in satellites and airplanes. The result, according to the company, is an artificial heart capable of detecting the patient's needs and responding to them automatically. The Carmat heart is not a ventricular-assist device, but is designed as a permanent replacement for the diseased heart.
