The Application of Neural Network Technique for Output Estimation of an Impeller Artificial Heart

Objective An accurate,convenient and indirect measurement for artificial heart was developed. Methods The neural network technique was applied to estimate the output of an impeller artificial heart. The neural network construction including two input units-motor input power, rotational speed and one output unit-rate of flow, was set up. By training and testing repeatedly, the network can accurately learn the non-linear relationship between the input units and the output units, and estimate the output value according to input values. Results The application of a neural network can solve the problem successfully with an error under 5%. Conclusion The method was accurate and convenient. Moreover, with no need of sensor, it was less complex and reduced the infection possibility. Thus, it is worth studying further.
