Digital Simulator of the Human Arteries

Abstract:
In supporting healthcare, modeling the human vessels is becoming particularly important due to the potential use of nanosensors in the blood flow. It results in especially important the modeling of pressure and flows along vessels to later predict the dynamic of flowing nanosensors. Supporting this intention, we conceive a digital simulator of the human arteries in this work. Extending widely accepted designs with analog circuits, we provide a low complex design in Simulink/Matlab and suitable to implement in field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The findings exhibit a good correspondence of the digital to the original analog design, and the resulted pressure curves behave accordingly to the human standard behavior.
