Hardware Engineering for Health Technology credit:

4 Hours

In this course, students will explore the role of hardware in developing health technologies. Students will understand how various health technologies are developed and how they operate. HT 503 surveys hardware-engineering topics for health technology and will include exposure to and initial examination of topics. Topics may include: Sensors and Actuators in Healthcare; Common Prototyping platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano); Robot Operating System (ROS) Platforms; Cameras, LIDARs, Motion-Detection Systems (Microsoft Kinect, etc); Haptic Sensors; Dynamics of Wheeled Personal Transport Systems (Wheelchairs, etc.); Integrative Final Course-Project. Although there is not a traditional lab associated with this class, the course will include lectures, discussion, and hands-on activity based projects. Registration priority will be given to Health Technology graduate students. Other students please contact the instructor.
