Cyborgs, controlling devices with your mind, advanced prosthetics, and sensors to monitor how your body works. In this course, we explore the latest medical technologies. This course teaches the basics of human physiology and engineering and uses these concepts to understand the latest in blood glucose sensors, wireless cameras used for endoscopy, advanced prosthetics for the eye, and arm. The journey takes us from joints and their replacements and travels to the eyes, heart, lungs, stomach, artificial joints, and finish our journey mind-machine devices. Explore the extraordinary solutions of modern engineering to human disease!
