Inhalt:

The course provides an overview on the system design of wearable computing systems and implantable systems. Electronic design topics will be addressed, including bioelectronics, flexible electronics, electronics textile integration, multiprocess additive manufacturing. On the system functional level, frequent sensor and actuators and their designs for on-body and implantable systems are discussed. Powering and energy management concepts will be detailed, including processing and task scheduling, sparse sampling and sparse sample signal processing. Energy harvesting methods for wearable and implantable systems are analysed. Principles of biocompatibility and system validation for remote health monitoring are covered. Concrete design problems related to context awareness, energy-efficient context recognition, and mechanical design in medical applications are demonstrated, prototypes realised and discussed in mini-projects.

Submitting reports for all exercises is compulsory to be accepted for the oral exam.
