The Heart Restoration Project

The Heart Restoration Project introduces a self-powered, diaphragm-synchronized cardiac assist system designed to support patients with heart conditions. This bio-integrated innovation converts mechanical motion from the diaphragm into rhythmic cardiac support, eliminating reliance on external batteries or traditional pacemaker leads. The system synchronizes assist cycles with the patient’s breathing pattern using a breath-to-beat adaptation module, and incorporates biocompatible, patient-derived materials to reduce immune rejection risk. A built-in backup mechanism ensures fail-safe continuity. Protected under provisional patent #63/798,114, the project bridges multiple domains—biomedical engineering, cardiology, and regenerative medicine—offering a platform-level alternative to current mechanical or electrical assist devices. This preprint outlines the conceptual architecture, clinical relevance, and potential application in diverse populations, including pediatric and geriatric patients, low-resource settings, and space medicine. The project invites collaborative exploration from R&D teams, institutions, and device innovators.
