Learning outcomes

During the course you will gain knowledge of modelling as a tool in studying physiological systems and measurements including design of measurements and devices and part of diagnostic systems. After the course you will know the basics of model construction and use, modelling methods, procedures and some selected applications. You will also gain hands-on experience on applying the modelling in studying physiological systems.
