Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Courses corresponding to profiles from Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Industrial Engineering
Objectives
- Understand the concepts of biomechanical interaction in the design of patient-specific products. - Apply concepts of ergonomics and safety to the design, manufacturing, testing, and evaluation of devices that interact with the human body in healthcare. - Analyze the safety requirements involved in a biomechanical application and/or medical treatment or device, and integrate them into the stages of the design process to develop appropriate solutions.
Learning Outcomes
Description of contents: programme
1. Definition and Classification 2. Design and Development 3. Evaluation and Testing 4. Clinical Applications 5. Innovation and Future: Clinical Challenges in Musculoskeletal Disorders 6. The Hospital as the Entity Responsible for Personalized Products
Learning activities and methodology
The content will be presented in lecture classes, encouraging student participation through exercises and clinical case studies. These cases will be solved in groups, and the proposed solutions will be discussed. A final group project will be conducted, integrating concepts learned throughout the course. This project will be supervised by the instructor during some of the class sessions. Through Aula Global, students will be informed of a personalized tutoring schedule, with the option to receive support via email, videoconference, or in person.
