Thoratec, who have offices in Cambridgeshire, produce a number of devices for patients suffering from heart failure. One such device, known as the Heartmate, is currently changing lives all over the world. Thoratec wanted to capture one of these real life stories on film.
The Somersault crew met Bert De Ruiter, a teenager from Groningen who has been living with the Heartmate device since being diagnosed with a serious heart condition.
The crew spent a day with Bert, as well as interviewing family and friends to understand how the Heartmate is improving his quality of life.
Somersault provided Thoratec with two versions of the film, one shortened version to be used on their website and an extended version for conferences and presentations.
