Course Objectives
1. To develop psychomotor behaviours that will help them to understand the principles and production methods of biosensors. 2. To acquire the ability to adapt the knowledge gained through laboratory to basic biomedical engineering problems.
Course Outcomes
1. Understanding the principles of amperometric glucose measurement, creating calibration curves, and performing glucose detection from samples.
2. Gaining the ability to perform analytical detection using the cyclic voltammetry technique.
3. Understanding the advantages provided by QCM-based biosensors via plasma applications and protein detection with QCM
4. Understanding PPG (photoplethysmography) principles, being able to measure heart rate from pulse signals, and analyzing signal characteristics (heart rate, wave morphology).
5. Being able to record heart sounds (S1, S2), analyze phonocardiogram signals, and determine normal/abnormal heart sounds.
6. Being able to use the LDF (Laser Doppler Flowmetry) measurement technique to perform tissue perfusion measurements and interpret microvascular blood flow.
