Learning outcomes
Student can describe a functional block diagram of the physiological recording system. Student can identify most common physical and chemical quantities that can be measured from the human body to characterize the condition of the central vital systems and functions of the body. Student can describe the most common methods to perform different recordings from the physiological system, including the cardiovascular, neural, sceleto-muscular, and pulmonary systems. Student can apply the knowledge on basic physiological measurements in different clinical applications, like patient monitoring and ambulatory monitoring. Students can describe the main methods to analyze the data and results of the physiological measurements.

Evaluation criteria for the course
Arvosana määräytyy osasuoritusten perusteella seuraavasti: 1-3: Osaamistavoitteet täyttyvät ydinaineksen osaamisen osalta, mutta osaamisessa voi olla puutteita, kaikki osasuoritukset välttävästi tai hyvin suoritettu. 4-5: Hallitaan hyvin myös täydentävä tietämys ja/tai hallitaan ydinaines syvällisemmin kuin osaamistavoitteissa määritelty. Kaikki osasuoritukset vähintään erittäin hyvin suoritettu.
