Synopsis:

The course offers summary information on the possibilities of using modern technologies in the field of medical aids for the purposes of mobile applications for monitoring the status and everyday activities of people. Attention is paid to technical aspects of the design of such devices, prospects of further development using miniaturisation of sensors, new bio sensors, wireless technologies and wearable architectures such as BAN sensor networks (Body Area Network) and various Smart devices designed to monitor everyday human physical activities, as well as physiological parameters.

Requirements:

As a standard, teaching is done in contact form and the subject is completed by oral examination, which precedes written preparation. If the number of students is less than 5, the teaching may take place in the form of a controlled self-study with regular consultations. In addition, a written study is required by a student on a given topic in the field. The condition for admission to the exam is the completion of two laboratory exercises (provided by the protocol signed by the student, the head of the exercise and the guarantor of the course). Protocols will be archived in the department for doctoral studies.
