Learning outcomes
Student can explain the special features related to the electronics in medical applications, especially biopotential measurement. Student can explain how factors, such as electrode-tissue interface, electrical noise, amplifiers, and patient safety affect the design of biopotential measurement devices in theory and in practice. Student is able design, construct, and evaluate a biopotential amplifier.

Evaluation criteria for the course
The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.
