introduces a foundational technology:
The Medical Entropy Pump
01
The need
Leukemia and Sickle Cell Diseases have very different causes, and they effect different populations. But both diseases share a similarity: they produce misshapen, ineffective blood cells; white blood cells for Leukemia, and red blood cells for Sickle Cell. In both cases, the misshapen blood cells can’t effectively do what healthy blood cells can do. The body often responds by producing more healthy blood cells, and the blood then ends up thickened with an over-abundance of cells, a large portion of which are ineffective due to the disease. Patients suffer from lack of effective transport of oxygen and nutrients.
02
The opportunity
Patients with kidney failure have access to the effective, minimally-invasive process of blood dialysis. Within the first treatement, these patients tend to fell immediate relief and improved comfort, as the dialysis system removes waste products from blood. The Medical Entropy Pump leverages a similar blood transport as is used in dialysis. But while dialysis removes blood impurities, the medical entropy pump removes the misshapen blood cells that contribute to patient discomfort and poor outcomes.
03
Our solution
We exploit a gentle electromagetic effect, pioneered at the University of Alabama in 2010 by the now-principals with Arterial Dynamics, and researched extensively since then. The Lorentz Force Ion Polarization technique gently separates misshapen blood cells from healthy ones. The Medical Entropy Pump uses a process where the flow of the patient’s blood in-vivo experiences a delicate and selective push from electromagnetic fields in a laminar blood flow. The misshapen white blood cells or red blood cells experience a slightly different “push” across the blood flow from the healthy blood cells, so they can be removed.

Technical Details
Even with contempaorary advancements in the treatment of blood diseases and cancers, patients often experience discomfort and negative outcome due to misshapen white and red blood cells. White blood cells without proper surface tension increase blood viscosity and thus decrease oxygen and nutrient transport, which can leave the patient weak and unable to tolerate cancer and chronic treatments. Similarly, misshapen sickle-shaped red blood cells can obstruct blood flow in capillaries and organs leading to a sickle crisis, or rupture into blood plasma.
In-Vivo Blood Treatment
Arterial Dynamics has developed foundational in-vivo treatments based on electromagnetic fields and carefully-modulated fluid dynamics from our peer-reveiwed and tested Entropy Pump technology. Using a treatment path similar to dialysis but with our own Medical Entropy Pump, the patient’s blood undergoes treatment with our proprietary entropy reduction technology. Misshapen blood cells are separated from healthy blood cells and either shunted out of the plasma or inactived with a dose of medical radiation for natural removal through the patient’s spleen and liver. Healthy blood returns to the patient. Treatment is administered as needed for patient comfort and outcome similar to dialysis.
Medical Entropy Pump versus Dialysis
The blood flow and management systems are similar, but while dialysis uses an osmosis system to separate waste and water from blood, the medical entropy pump uses low-energy electromagnetics to separate misshapen cells from healthy cells and blood plasma.
Current Work
Foundational research in Lorentz Force Ion Polarization has been completed, demonstrated, peer-reviewed and published at University of Alabama. Work has continued from there in the medical entropy pump, which is the underlying physical engine that delivers patient treatment. This work is currently in the next phase of development in our small lab in Golden, Colorado.
Publication of this work awaits initial funding, which will set our one-year timer for provisional IP with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In our upcoming work, we intend to use engineered nanoparticles and a dielectric, viscosity controlled solution to similar blood flow in serum, and then adjust our entropy pump controls to test and optimize the blood separation technique. Our “knobs” that we can use to control the medical entropy pump include induced electric field, magnetic field, flow control and flow geometry.
