When doctors told Taiya that her heart was failing, she knew she had to keep fighting.

Two years ago, Taiya went into cardiogenic shock. Her husband and family were called in to say goodbye.

But against all expectations, Taiya survived.

​​People like Taiya living with heart failure need your support to help keep heart research moving.

Scientia Associate Professor Thanh Nho Do and his team are developing a groundbreaking robotic heart assistant.

This technology aims to provide another solution for people living with heart failure, helping give them their strength – and their lives – back.

​​Research like this is key to changing what a heart failure diagnosis means in the future.​​ 

It would not exist without the support of our donors.
