At Georgia Tech, cardiology care and procedural heart innovation power a continuous line of research and startups. The research that drives cardiovascular device innovation requires multidisciplinary teams; electrical engineering, fluid dynamics, computational modelling, AI, biochemical engineering, and materials science can all play important roles.

To encourage and support faculty and clinical teams who want to move their research into the clinic, Georgia Tech created several bench-to-patient programs to build on its track record of supporting the launch of successful startups.
