Description

This micro-module will focus on connected health devices, remote medical monitoring and in particular, human health monitoring at home or in a medical environment. You will learn how to scan an object with a 3D scanner, disassemble medical sensors in virtual reality and work on transmission and analysis of medical data. You will also learn how biomedical sensors and systems work, and how interstitial fluid will be “transformed” into a value in an app. Volunteers will be equipped with connected glucose sensors and though be able to work on their own data. Devices for measuring blood pressure and heart frequency are also waiting for you in the virtual reality. This micro-module will enable a wide audience to discover digital health, which is particularly interesting for those who will have a link with the health field in their future professional life. You will work in international and interdisciplinary groups. A mobility in Toulouse during the micro-module is organized by INSA Toulouse from March 16th to 20th. You will work on specific use cases for health applications, like heart frequency measurements for patients using active vehicles for rehabilitation when the patients shouldn't exceed a specific heart rate and electrical assistance of the vehicle will be adapted. You will produce little Instagram videos for other students to promote healthy lifestyle after having worked on the influence of food, sleep, stress and other factors on your health.

Information

Have you ever wanted to know more about how blood sugar, blood pressure and heart rate are measured ?

This micro‑module focuses on digital health, uses innovative teaching tools and concentrates on connected health devices, remote medical monitoring and the surveillance of human health at home or in a medical environment. It will enable a wide audience to discover digital health, which is particularly interesting for students who will have links with the health field in their future professional life and also for everyone interested in health. 
You will work in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams and explore medical monitoring systems, assemble a virtual‑reality object (electronic card), and transmit and analyse medical data. Volunteers will be equipped with a blood‑glucose device to interpret their own data.

You will produce 3D scans of the device and learn the basics of 3D modelling and printing. Sensors for measuring blood sugar, blood pressure and heart rate will be disassembled in virtual reality (CAVE and headset).

Most of the work will be carried out with your small, international group, but a mobility week is compulsory so you can get to know your partners from the beginning of the micro‑module and carry out the practical work onsite at INSA Toulouse. You will also take part in intercultural exercises and activities, listen to experts and visit hospitals and research laboratories. What is more… You can also follow the micro-module in Spanish or German if you wish!

You will, of course, experience the wonderful city of Toulouse and its surroundings, such as the Pyrenees and/or the Mediterranean.
