COURSE DEFINITION
Basic concepts of measurement methods in medicine and biology, Emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the biomedical measurement and bioinstrumentation, Signal transducers/sensors, bio-amplifiers, filters, and biomedical considerations for measurements and instrumentation, Biomedical measurements of biopotentials, fluid flow, pressure and temperature and their calibration techniques, Basic techniques for analysis of molecules (and/or cells, tissues) in clinical medicine and laboratory biomedical research (such as spectrophotometry, flame photometry, oxymeter, mass spectroscopy, chromatography, electrophoresis, microscopy, etc.). In addition, techniques for surface characterization and biocompatibility in biomedicine will also be introduced.
