Purpose of class
The aim of this course is to deepen students’ understanding of biological characteristics and measurement principles in order to appropriately utilize biomedical measurement devices.
Course description
Understanding life activities and physiological phenomena requires accurate measurement of the structure and function of the human body. Various sensors and measurement devices are used in biomedical measurements; however, to use them appropriately, it is essential to understand their operating principles and measurement targets. In this course, students will learn fundamental knowledge of biomedical measurement through lectures and simple experimental exercises. In the latter half of the course, students will work in small groups to investigate and present on a biomedical measurement device or medical instrument of their interest.
Goals and objectives
  1. Explain fundamental physiological phenomena and basic concepts of measurement.
  2. Describe the basic principles of sensors and measurement devices used in biomedical measurement.
  3. Draw conclusions from basic statistical measures of measurement data.
  4. Demonstrate interest in biomedical measurement technologies and actively investigate their principles and applications.
