  • Visual cardiomyocyte analysis
    Patent number: 9582894
    Abstract: Method for analyzing the beating of a derived human cardiomyocyte (CM) includes obtaining the derived human CM, capturing a sequence of images depicting the derived human CM over an analysis period, and determining at least one signal descriptive of the beating of the derived human CM during the analysis period on basis of the sequence of captured images. Apparatuses, and a computer program for analyzing the beating of a derived human CM are configured to obtain: the sequence of images depicting the derived human CM over an analysis period, information indicative of the region of the images depicting the derived human CM, information indicative of two or more sub-regions within the region, and determine two or more signals characterizing the displacement within the region of images depicting the derived human cardiomyocyte, each signal characterizing the extent of displacement within a respective sub-region of the region as a function of time.
