Bioinstrumentation

This module covers the fundamental principles of measurement and instrumentation as applied in biomedical device design.

Most modules require a 2.2 degree in a related discipline or equivalent professional experience. Should you have any queries regarding your eligibility, please contact us at info@advancecentre.ie

N.B A basic prior knowledge of electric circuit theory and probability theory are important. Prior background in signal processing is also useful.

On successful completion of this module a learner will be able to:


1. Apply the principles of electrical circuit theory and analyses to the use and design of instrumentation in the biomedical area;
2. Explain the operating principles of biomedical transducers for themeasurement of biopotentials (ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG) and other critical physiological variables such as blood pressure, flow, and temperature;
3. Design and build analog signal conditioning circuits that provide reliable biopotential measurements, e.g. ECG;
4. Explain the physical principles underlying the function of biopotential electrodes;
5. Demonstrate knowledge of electrical safety considerations in the medicalenvironment;
6. Demonstrate programming skills through the use of MATLAB for back-end data acquisition and elementary digital signal processing.
