Students of Karaganda NIS have developed a device for the treatment of people with heart diseases

Ninth-graders of Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Karaganda Aldiyar Nakyp and Alpamys Isabekov have developed a special device for people suffering from heart diseases. The project "Implantable pacing and defibrillation system" took the first place at the competition in Astana. For the successful defense of the work, Aldiyar was awarded a grant from the Kazakh-British Technical University.

– Our device is implanted under the skin, and electrodes are installed in the heart through blood vessels. The device instantly detects the type of disease and sends special electrical impulses. These impulses affect the heart muscles, suppressing or accelerating their work," Aldiyar said.

The pacing and defibrillation system can help in the treatment of tachycardia, bradycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Aldiyar presented the project at the Nauryz meetings of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools. This year, about 100 projects in six sections participated in the biomedicine, engineering and technology competition. The work of Karaganda schoolchildren was recognized as the best in the category "Creation of "smart" prostheses and their elements. Exo- and endoprosthetics".

Another student of the Karaganda NIS – Ulan Mustafin – took 3rd place in the section "Hardware and software for monitoring the functional state of the human body".

In total, NIS Karaganda students presented five projects at Nauryz meetings.

Among them are "A robotic sole for people with different lengths of lower limbs", "A hydrogel with an incorporated drug by impregnation method", "A device and a Postrue mobile application to combat slouching".
