Systems of Distributed Medical Diagnostics and Therapeutics

Summary

Key areas of interest include assistive technologies, information and communication technologies for mediating a machine with a person with mental or physical disabilities, controlled home rehabilitation with the support of modern sensory systems for objectivization of the rehabilitation process and proper implementation of rehabilitation exercises. Integration of these systems is also included. Using existing knowledge of students in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices will be lectured and practically practiced their possible applications in the above-mentioned areas. The necessary knowledge and skills in the areas of body sensor networks, eHealth approaches, assistive technologies, User interface design and an effective way of interpreting measured data for users and experts will be added.

Learning outcomes of the course focus on the principles, design, implementation and commercial applications of eHealth approaches to monitor health status, improve the quality of life of physically and mentally handicapped people, therapeutic applications and fitness applications.
