  • Semester 2, position 2

Goal

Introducing students with fundamental similarities and differences of natural, biological and technical systems. Structural and functional basis of human organism. Physical and chemical methods and techniques in diagnostics and therapy. Mastering basic knowledge of theoretical and functional basis of instruments for measuring, apparatus and devices in biology and medicine.Basic maintain principles of biomedical devices and instrumentation. Fundamentals of application information technologies in medicine.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: •Mathematically and theoretically describe parameters defining biological and technical systems of interest •Select the physical and chemical methods and techniques in the diagnosis and therapy and define the parameters that can be measured to describe the state and operations of the system, •Measure and analyze different electrophysiological signals received from the corresponding biomedical devices •Describe the technical design of the devices and the working principle of basic diagnostic methods and techniques •Recognize, enumerate and describe appropriate systems of artificial organs and devices for rehabilitation

Theoretical teaching

Systematic fundamentals of functioning nature, biological systems and techniques. Chemical and physical diagnostic parameters. Fundamentals of biomedical measurements, diagnostic methods, and techniques in medicine. Electrophysiology and devices for ENG, EMG, ECG measurements. Systems for human fluids transportation.
