Systematic approach to Pill-size Medical Devices
A systematic approach to design of pill-size medical devices is possible by outlining the crosscutting constraints that these systems must address: • Size • Power consumption • Fail-safe operation • Wireless communication • Effective interaction with the surrounding environment
Systematic approach to Pill-size Medical Devices
Given these constraints, it is possible to identify a general system architecture for a pill-size medical design
Miniature Medical Device Environment Energy Source Sensors CPU Wireless Comm. • Human machine interface • Other miniature devices
Actuators/ Mechanisms
ME-392-03 SPECIAL TOPIC: MINIATURIZED WIRELESS MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
GOAL OF THE COURSE: To provide students with advanced knowledge to design a self-contained wireless mechatronic device focusing on medical applications INTENDED AUDIENCE AND PREREQUISITES: Graduate students in ME, EE, CS or BME interested in the design of mechatronic devices with emphasis on miniaturization and wireless transmission of data and power. Students should have basic knowledge of programming, electrical circuits, and mechatronics TOPICS COVERED: Programming of wireless microcontrollers and data acquisition and transmission from sensors and to actuators
