Summary
This course provides the knowledge of Electronics, Electricity and Control Systems required to follow the key points dealing with measurements, signals and analysis of signals obtained by sensors: It covers Electricity, Electronics, Automatics, Circuits, Physics Components (transistors, diode), Electronic logic In this project, you will have to produce a synthetic review of biomedical sensors. This sensors can be anything from the simple stethoscope of your private physician, a blood pressure monitor to an MRI or a biomems to detect cancer cells. We don't expect you to look at all biomedical sensors. It's up to you to define the scope of your review. For example, you could focuse on a single sensor and examine its technological variations, or you could focuse on a specific biophysical quantity, e.g. blood pressure, and review all sensors that are able to measure that quantity. What are the motivation for such a review at the start of your Master program ? It's a joint BME 141 & 142 project. We want you to be aware of the context of both courses. Sensors are seen as applications of BME 141 and you'll need to use your knowledge from this course to understand how they work. Besides, BME electronic systems are usually connected to a sensor that provides its input signal. This master is research-oriented. That doesn't mean you are all trained to become academic researchers, but that, wathever your future position will be, you are very likely to be involved in innovative projects aimed at designing novel products and devices. Innovation always starts wit a clear view of the current state of the art. What already exists, and how could I make a difference with the idea that I have? Through the review project, you will learn how to use available bibliographic ressources to build this state of the art, and make it available to other BME students. It's not an individual project, you will have to work as a team and learn how to do that efficiently. The main requirement is that you try and connect your review to the topics of both courses, so you may answer these 3 questions : 1- What are the principles of physics that explain the sensor’s operation ? 2- What is the purpose and importance of the electronic interface ? 3- What knowledge, competence and ressources will you need (or already have) to propose a new type of sensor with better performance. At the end of the project, results will be presented in a group oral defense. Each member of the group should have the same speaking time.
Educational goals
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to : - Understand the basic principles and analyze simple biomedical electronic circuits and interfaces. - Understand operation and use of basic electronic components: diode, transistors and opamps. - Choose appropriate electronic components and circuits to connect to a medical sensor. - Search for references and resources adequate to their specific design project - Interpret datasheets of electronic components. - Make a model biomedical device ￜ an optical pulse oximeter ￜ starting from the physical principles to the printed circuit board
