The aim of this course is to learn common advanced techniques to design advanced biomedical devices, such as: digital and analogue electronics, wireless power, data telemetry, as well as some safety aspects of modern medical devices. The course kicks off by examining properties of bio signals such as EEG, ECG and Oximetry. Building on this, we will examine system and circuit requirements for devices which monitor these signals. Analogue circuit elements such as high-order active filters, biopotential amplifiers, ADC converters, and digital circuits are discussed in detail. Having introduced the core of the system, we will exam ways which they can be powered as well as communication links. The final part of the course introduces electrical safety aspects of medical devices.

If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
