Biomedical Engineering (Electronics) Taster Course

 
 
Labs

Learn about the new and innovative health and wellbeing technologies that biomedical engineers create, from AI assisted diagnostics & digital health systems, to rehabilitation technologies and implantable sensors. We will teach you how to design and construct a biosensor and analyse its performance, collect & analyse your own muscle movement signals using neural networks, and build a heart rate (ECG) sensor. You will also learn about miniaturised “Lab-on-a-Chip” diagnostics and smart signal analysis for wearable healthcare.*
