Requirements

All the lectures, assignments and seminars are compulsory. Accepted written reports and accepted oral and written final reports requested.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning outcomes

After completing the course students can explain the planning process stages of a medical device from an idea to a final product including regulatory aspects and risk analysis. Students have executed a literature review with their group which includes patent and market surveys and survey requirements for the application and the biomedical device. Students have used scientific articles and different databases for the information retrieval. As a part of a group students have planned a schedule, budget, and the workflow for the project and presented it as written documents and as an oral presentation in seminars.

Additional information about prerequisites
Students should have finished their BSc degree studies AND have obtained 50 credit units of MSc studies. Out of those, students must show that at least 30 credits are from the field of biomaterials, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, medicine and related subjects. The course is intended for the students in their last study year for MSc (DI) degree (or for PhD students), it is most useful for the students at that stage. If you are unsure, contact responsible teacher for your qualifications.
