“…Boquete et al created an experiment to measure the ECG and transfer the data by phone. Students gained significant experience in biomedical amplifier design, data analysis, mobile phone communication, and interface design [3]. Luo developed an experimental application to filter the ECG signal from diaphragm EMG signals for use by students taking the digital signal processing course [22].…”

Engineering education requires both a theoretical and practical basis; some aspects are better understood through practical examples. Providing practical experience in biomedical engineering is of great importance in terms of understanding concepts and assisting the retention of learning. Hands‐on experience can be particularly beneficial in supporting the theoretical explanation of the acquisition, processing, and displaying of biomedical signals. This study has developed an expansion board that can be plugged into Raspberry Pi boards to capture electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), and electromyography (EMG) biomedical signals with a single‐channel amplifier circuit. A toolbox has been written in the Python programming language to; capture, process, filter, apply fast fourier transform, and display these signals. The device and laboratory applications were introduced in the curriculum of a final year module, “Introduction to Biomedical Engineering” in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Gazi University. The pedagogical value of the application was assessed by administering a questionnaire to the students. Results show the use of measurement and display of biomedical signals increased the curiosity and motivation of the students in Biomedical Engineering.

“…The proposed reconfigurable biopotential amplifier (RBA) is developed from the viewpoints of the student's learning achievements and convenience to achieve the core capabilities of students in designing biopotential amplifiers, such as designing fundamental circuit modules of medical instruments; designing parametric filters to meet various biopotential signal filtering conditions; understanding the effects of employing specific filters; investigating the progressive developments of manipulating biopotential signals; connecting the fundamental circuit modules to measure different biopotential sources, such as EMG [8], ECG [9] and EOG [10]. Therefore, the reconfiguration can be achieved by using different fundamental circuit module connections and employing various filter designs with suitable frequency conditions.…”

This paper proposes a reconfigurable biopotential amplifier for a medical instrumentation course in the department of electrical engineering. With the reconfigurable biopotential amplifier, the students are able to measure their biopotential signals such as electromyography, electrocardiography and electrooculography in the class. In addition, reconfigurations of the circuit board can be achieved by forming different combinations of the circuit modules to investigate the effects of employing the amplifiers and filters, as well as to practice the topics of various biopotential signal sources in terms of adjusting the configurations of the circuit board. At the same time, variable resistors are further used to adjust the amplifier gains and frequency conditions. Moreover, a microcontroller is provided for converting the analog signals to digital forms so that the biopotential signals can be displayed and recorded with a computer program. Therefore, the reconfigurable biopotential amplifier is a low cost and compact educational tool. The students can practice this module only with a personal computer which connects a USB node to provide the DC power and serial data communication. In addition to the improvement on the learning achievements for the biopotential signal measurement experiments within the lecture topics in the medical instrumentation course, the reconfigurable biopotential amplifier also benefits the hands-on skills of students for designing the amplifiers and filters in medical instrumentations.

“…Home patient monitoring is one of them. Different approaches have been proposed, such as: sending the data through the phone network using mobile phones (Istepanian, Woodward and Richards, 2001), (Boquete, Bravo, Barea, Ascariz and Martín, 2005); providing a terminal for the patient themselves to view data and register events (Segura-Juaréz, Cuesta-Frau, Samblas-Pena and Aboy, 2004); transmitting data through the Web (Fensli, Gunnarson and Gundersen, 2005); allowing direct use by nearby medical staff (Paim, Correa and Marques, 2004).…”

This article presents a wireless microcontrolled system for ECG home monitoring. The main particularity of the system is related to the data transmission strategy, which is intermittent to save battery power. In order to evaluate the potential of the strategy proposed to diminish power consumption, a comparison of the transmission time spent is made between a theoretical estimation and the experiments.
