Cosa si impara?

You learn to:

  • prepare and characterise biomaterial for applications such as prosthetics, diagnosis and cure, developing existing relationships between working, structure and properties;
  • design and evaluate the use of suitable materials for diagnostic medical devices for the prevention and treatment of diseases and handicaps, substitution or modification of anatomy or a physiological process;
  • design and produce biomechanical (passive prosthetics), electronic (sensors and diagnostics), mechatronic (active prosthetics) and robotic (robotic surgery) devices;
  • develop biosensors, new prosthetics and artificial organs, devices for biomedical use, pharmacological devices and devices for the support and assistance of the disabled;
  • develop technology for diagnostics;
  • analyse electrical and/or magnetic phenomena;
  • elaborate data and images;
  • model physiological systems;
  • design, create and test medical devices and implants designed for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring;
  • develop and manage the production and creation of electromedical biosensors and instruments;
  • develop clinical decision-making and health information system supports;
  • develop medical software.
