The Harvi learning platform is based on a sophisticated high-fidelity web-based cardiovascular simulator that has been in development for over 30 years. Originally developed as a research tool, the simulator is also a powerful educational resource that is coupled with a set of online textbooks (Student, Advanced, ECMO) to provide a unique, immersive and interactive learning experience. Material is presented through a series of guided tutorials which allow for learners to interact with the cardiovascular system and learn physiologic and explore consequences of management decisions. Currently, the Student and ECMO books are available in 9 languages.

Books
Student
Cardiovascular & Pulmonary, Basic Pathophysiology​
Harvi-Student is an introductory textbook and simulation designed for medical and graduate students, but could be used by students at all levels!
Student Book: Table of Contents
ECMO/MCS​
Essential physiology of ECMO and mechanical circulatory support​
Harvi-ECMO explores gas exchange in the lungs, Oxygen Delivery, Fick Cardiac output, Control of Ventilation, causes of hypoxemia, and basic interpretation of the arterial blood gas measurements.
ECMO/MCS Book: Table of Contents
Advanced
Muscle strip, the PV Loop, atrial function, cardiac metabolism, receptor biology, autonomic control, exercise physiology​
Take a deeper dive into cardiovascular physiology and the hemodynamics with Advanced Physiology.
Advanced Book: Table of Contents
TINs
Try-It-Nows: a simpler interface with a limited number of input parameters and a single plot display designed to explore a specific physiologic principle.
Academy
The Academy contains additional resources, most of which are video-lecture based, providing supplemental material and demonstrations of the use of Harvi.
Simulator
The Simulator is the engine that runs Harvi. Select from scores of input parameters, and many different plots. Create, capture and save conditions and more!
