Course FormatEach week, we will read and discuss a group of related papers on a topic. For some of the weeks a student will be designated to lead the discussion. The goal for each student is to read the paper as carefully as possible before the week's lecture and contribute to its discussion in class. Before Class
During ClassRoughly, each class will proceed as follows:
After ClassDiscussion lead writes a short review summarizing the discussion before sending it out to the class. Guest LecturesFor some topics, we will have guest lectures from experts who have worked on the modeling, design and verification closed loop medical devices. List of PapersA list of papers to be read will be posted here. Most of the links will work if accessed on-campus or through a VPN to our campus. Note: Preliminary list is here for your reference: mostly surveys. An updated list will be posted before the start of the semester. Artificial Pancreas Papers
Implantable Devices for Human Heart
Computer Controlled Anesthesia
Other Papers/Topics of Interest
ScheduleThe schedule of lectures shown below is subject to change. We will post papers in the private area for most topics. We will strive to post all material well in advance. Please take a look through them, and come prepared for class.
TopicsThe course will focus on closed loop medical devices. Closed-loop medical devices involve sophisticated algorithms that control critical physiological functions through sensing, computation and actuation. These devices may be completely autonomous, or enjoy a limited degree of autonomy to assist the human operator. Examples include:
Closed-loop medical devices are safety-critical: malfunctions often result in serious injury or death to the patient. The course will primarily focus on research around modeling, design, verification/validation and clinical issues surrounding these devices:
But these are not the only issues surrounding closed loop devices. In a broader setting, there are many other issues to focus on. The papers we read will touch upon some of these issues as well.
Course WorkGrading is simply through participation. The student is expected to show up in class, prepared to discuss the paper. When asked to be a discussion lead, the student should take the time to meet with the instructor during office hours to ensure that their understanding of the paper is appropriate for leading the discussion. |
