Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in Biomedical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearToute l'année5
Master in Engineering Physics, in-depth approach, 2nd yearToute l'année5
Lecturer :  Thomas Desaive
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
The aim of this course is to describe different physiological systems dynamic models. These models should be used in medical applications or in clinics.
More specifically, this course will focus on:
  • cardiovascular system and hemodynamics modelling
  • pulmonary system modelling
  • glucose-insulin loop modelling
Besides physiological systems modelling, this course will also examine how to model frequent clinical situations such as:
  • mechanical ventilation
  • glucose control in intensive care patients
  • pathologies of the cardiovascular system
Learning outcomes of the course :  
Learn to model different physiological systems and some frequent clinical situations.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
mathematical background of a bachelor in engineering
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
30h theory + 30h practicals (computer)
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Face-to-face and group assignment
Recommended or required readings :  
Slides (PPT) are available
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Written exam and group assignment
Organizational remarks :
