Course Description

Get acquainted with the areas of application and requirements for systems for non-invasive monitoring of physiological functions. Get acquainted with modern sensor and communication technologies and the implementation of wearable and implantable systems for monitoring physiological functions. Understand the limitations of technology, legal framework and ethical principles in the application of systems for monitoring physiological functions.

Prerequisites

Basic prior knowledge of physics and electrical engineering is required.
