Adaptive Control of Cardiac Rhythms

The control of cardiac rhythms is essential for developing reliable and effective pacemakers, which play a vital role in managing abnormal heart activity and preventing life-threatening conditions. Adaptive control strategies, which adjust to both intra- and inter-patient variability, offer promising advancements in this field.

In this context, we have just published an article in Scientific Reports (Nature). The article, titled “Adaptive Control of Cardiac Rhythms,” presents research on using adaptive control methods to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, contributing to the development of more effective cardiac rhythm management devices, such as artificial pacemakers.

This work is the result of collaboration between Gabriel da Silva Lima (Turku Intelligent Embedded and Robotic Systems, University of Turku), Marcelo Amorim Savi (Center for Nonlinear Mechanics, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), and Wallace Moreira Bessa (Smart Systems, University of Turku). It also highlights our ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge in intelligent control and nonlinear systems, particularly in healthcare applications.
