Summary

NovaShunt saw an opportunity to improve the quality of life for those suffering from peritoneal ascites fluid accumulation resulting from liver disease, congestive heart failure, and certain cancers. MindTribe’s engineering team worked closely with the medical staff at NovaShunt to design an implanted pump, and participated actively in the required in vivo trials to prove out the device. This effort required custom pump design, optimized inductive power delivery systems, and robust RF communications, as well as extensive testing and analysis.
