After successful completion of the course, students are able to
  assess requirements on biomedical devices,
  quantify safety issues,
  constitute capacitive and inductive interferences and the respective counter measures,
  discuss electrode effects,
  design specific diagnostic devices,
  explain specific therapeutic devices, and
  formulate basics of microelectronic elements as components of biomedical devices.

Introduction to theory, praxis, and limitations of classical diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring instruments for biomedical applications. Requirements, safety issues, signal acquisition, noise sources, shielding, electrocardiography, electroneurography, blood pressure monitoring, oximetry, spirometry, hearing aids, cochlear implant, diathermy, ventilators, and other biomedical devices. Basic concepts of semiconductors, operation amplifiers and transducers, data recording and analysis.

Interactive lecture with integrated labor exercise.

The current presence modus can be adjusted in accordance to the needs of pandemic.
