(1 year) Basic studies • Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Education structure • Biomedical Engineering & Informatics • 5th sem: • Problem identification and analysis at a hospital department (only ST) • 7th sem: • Scientific project • Article in English • SEMCON (Semester conference) • 9-10th sem: • No courses • 1 major or two minor master projects

  14. Specializations • Medical Informatics • Biomechanics (outdated) • Medical Signals & Systems • (Tissue Engineering)

  15. ? • Biomedical Engineering & Informatics The dual challenge for Biomedical Engineers To master and combine different disciplines To understand the clinical domain

  16. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Courses • Biology • Anatomy • Physiology • Biochemistry • Medicine • Hospital IT • EMJ • Mathematics • Applied Physics • Electronics • Digital Design • Computer science • Signal Processing • Image Analysis • Pattern Recognition • Decision Support Systems

  17. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Projects? What do you mean? • 1 large project of app. 4 months duration. • The teaching philosophy is problem-based, projekt-oriented learning. • Takes offset in the research conducted at HST. • General courses (with exam) and courses supporting the project (no exam). • One large group exam at the end of the semester • Many projects are done in collaboration with the industry

  18. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Project tasks • Initial problem (e.g. insulin dosage) • Analysis (Explorative investigation, medical literature PubMED) • Problem resolution (E.g. design and implementatio of a software system) • Evaluation of results • Documentation (Usually a report of 70-150 pages)

  19. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Group work in focus • Groups of up to 7 students (projects & course exercises) • Formed according to social sympathy or professional interests • Each group has a room (usually) for itself • Exercises are done in group rooms as well. • Each group has a supervisor • Typical week: • 8.15-10.00: Lecture • 10.15-12.00: Exercises • 12.00-12.30: Lunch • 12.30-14.00: Lecture • 14.15-16.00: Exercises

  20. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Typical weekly schedule

  21. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Examples of Student Projects • Heart Rate Monitor (3rd sem.) • Core Temperature Logger (4th sem.) • Oral AntiCoagulation Information System (OACIS) (6th sem.) • Automated Detection of Retinopathy (7th sem.)

  22. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Heart Rate Monitor

  23. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Core Temperature Logger

  24. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Oral AntiCoagulation Information System

  25. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Automated Detection of Retinopathy

  26. Biomedical Engineering & Informatics Our future? • Generelt godt sving i medico-butikken i DK (Er blevet en af de største exportvarer) • Strukturel reform, samt generelt fokus på EPJ i Denmark betyder måske mange jobs indenfor sundheds IT. • Independent (ALLQTECH) • Research at the university

  27. So – what are we doing in São Paulo? • MI at Aalborg University: • Establish permanent exchange program between Aalborg University and InCor • Personal goals: • Complete our 9th sem. project • Experience the organization of a foreign hospital • Get to know Brazilian culture • Learn Portuguese • Meet Brazilian people
