Learning outcomes |
This Course Unit aims to make an introduction to the functions inherent of monitoring and assisted therapeutic devices. Topics related to the signal chain, programming, human/machine interface, ergonomics and energy are discussed in order to provide an integrated overview of the systems.
At the end of the Course Unit the student should be able to:
- Describe how different pathologies can be identified and their relevant parameters measured;
- Identify the characteristics inherent to different types of monitoring and assisted therapeutic devices;
- Know to explain, using the theoretical principles of control systems, the operation of monitoring and assisted therapeutic devices;
- Model and simulate stable states and apply the simulation to models;
- Formulate mathematically physiological and biological systems;
- Know to design monitoring devices of biological variables.
