BIOE 311 Medical Wearable Development

Covers microcomputer applications (both hardware and software) as applied to biomedical science and biomedical engineering. Basic hardware components of open source microcomputers (primarily Arduino) are discussed with particular reference to configurations needed for analyzing biomedical events. Software applications including data encoding, data storage, app-based GUI's and real-time data processing are explored for analysis of physiological and biomedical signals. Students will develop algorithms using Arduino and MIT AppInventor to solve problems and develop solutions for biomedical sensing of motion and force sensing through IMU's, heart-rate sensing with optical heart monitors and EMG signal reduction and analysis with low-cost biomedical sensors. Prerequisite: ENGR 101 or permission of instructor.
