Content
The course covers the fundamental types of sensors, the physical concepts underlying various sensing systems, data handling, the practical applications of measurement, as well as discussions of constraints and error sources.
Learning outcome
After taking this course, the student will have familiarity:
- the measurements units
- different type of sensors (i.e., inertial, physiological, environmental, smart sensors, and biosensors)
- different type of sensing methods (i.e., HW based, or radio signals-based)
- errors, noise, accuracy and resolution in measurement process
- basic overview of biomedical systems
- the physical principles utilized in the different kinds of sensors
- calibration of sensors and instruments
- basic concepts of signal processing
- sensors communication technologies (e.g., serial, Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, etc)
- timeseries analysis, and timeseries forecasting
- data presentation.
- introduction to the use of data/signals/timeseries in machine learning
- sensors based application scenarios (e.g., Human Activity Recognition based on inertial sensors, flow measurements, blood pressure, measurements of the respiratory systems or hear rate).
As part of the laboratory activity, the students will program and use an Arduino in order to perform practical measurements.

Emneevaluering
There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
