EHB 440 - Comp.Aided Devices in Medicine

Course Objectives

Origins and properties of biological signals. Transducers for biological signals. Patient isolation methods. Fundamentals of computer units. Computer assisted biological signal acquisition, processing and monitoring. Archiving and transmitting of biological signals and images in and between medical centers. Computer aided telemetric system design. Microprocessor based blood pressure, body temperature, electrocardiogram, and electromyogram measurement devices.

+Addition:This course is a hands-on project-based real world practical application course. In this course, engineering students will team up to solve or improve device applications to optimize healthcare. At the beginning of the course, the students will be assigned a specific project or they can bring their own ideas to the table. Throughout the course, they will work together to design a device specific to their project.
