Students Lana Sara (grey sweater) and
Grace Whah (Greta Van Fleet T-shirt) work on their project during the Biomedical Instrumentation and Design class (BME and EECS 458) taught by Kathleen Panagis at the BME building on the University of Michigan’s North Campus.
In this lab section, students began the lab module on electrocardiography. The goal of the module is to build an instrument to acquire an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from an individual and automatically calculate the person's heart rate. Students are constructing a signal conditioning circuit consisting of an instrumentation amplifier and a bandpass filter. They are also implementing digital filters and peak detection using LabVIEW software.
BIOMEDE 458: In the Biomedical Instrumentation and Design course students design and construct functioning biomedical instruments. They gain experience in designing analog signal conditioning circuits as well as analyzing digital signals. Project modules include measurement of respiratory volume and flow rates, biopotentials (electrocardiogram), and optical analysis of arterial blood oxygen saturation (pulse-oximetry). The different project modules also provide an introduction to sensors and transducers for biomedical applications.
