Medical Software Design (GE, IM)

Catalog description

Software is critical in many medical devices, including device control, feedback and signal processing. This course focuses on software development skills that are ubiquitous in the medical device industry, including software version control, unit testing, fault tolerance, continuous integration testing and documentation. Experience will be gained in Python and JavaScript. The course will be structured around a project, done in small student groups, to build an Internet-connected medical device that measures and processes a biosignal, sends it to a web server, and makes those data accessible to a web client/mobile application. Prerequisite: Biomedical Engineering 271, Biomedical Engineering 271A, or graduate student standing.
