Description

This micromodule will focus on connected health devices, remote medical monitoring and in particular, human health monitoring at home or in a medical environment. Students will learn how to scan an object with a 3D scanner, disassemble medical sensors in virtual reality and work on transmission and analysis of medical data. They will learn how biomedical sensors and systems work, and how interstitial fluid will be “transformed” into a value in an app. Volunteers will be equipped with connected glucose sensors and though be able to work on their own data. This micromodule will enable a wide audience to discover digital health, which is particularly interesting for those who will have a link with the health field in their future professional life. Students will work in international and interdisciplinary groups. An international mobility to INSA Toulouse is also an optional element for this micromodule.

Information

Have you ever wanted to know more about how blood sugar and blood pressure is measured?  This micromodule focuses on digital health and uses innovative teaching  tools to focus on connected health devices, remote medical monitoring and the surveillance of human health at home or in a medical environment. It will enable a wide audience to discover the world of digital health, which is particularly interesting for students who will have a  link with healthcare in their future professional life, but also for everybody interested in health. 

Students will work in multidisciplinary and intercultural teams to discover medical monitoring systems, the assembly of a virtual  reality object (electronic card), and the transmission and  analysis of medical data. Volunteers will be equipped with a blood sugar or pressure device to interpret their own data.  The students will choose in international teams  the sensor they would like to work on (blood sugar or blood pressure sensor).  They will produce 3D scans of the device and learn the basis of 3D modelling of an object. They will also disassemble their device in virtual reality.   The work can be done fully online, but a mobility week is proposed to allow international students to do practical work onsite at INSA Toulouse.
