Course description and aims
Lecturers from not only Tokyo Institute of Technology but also industry, government and academia give lectures on development of medical instruments. The topics include both technological and non-technological ones such as medical laws, regulations, patent system, ethics, and social environment affecting medical care.
As examples of medical instruments, advanced technologies and development processes of surgical robots, artificial hearts, hemo-dialyzers, endoscopes, sterilization devices using atmospheric plasma, ultrasonic diagnosis equipment, etc. are introduced.
Medical instruments cannot be developed only with advanced technology. The aim of this course is to understand what are essential for successful development of medical instruments and to acquire knowledge necessary for it.
Student learning outcomes
Understand how advanced technologies are applied to development of medical instruments.
Understand also that medical instruments cannot be developed only with advanced technology.
Therefore, acquire non-technological knowledge on medical laws, regulations, patent system, ethics, social environment affecting medical care to be a future medical instrument engineer.
Keywords
surgical robot, artificial heart, hemo-dialyzer, endoscope, sterilization, atmospheric plasma, ultrasonic diagnosis, medical law, medical regulation, patent system, medical ethics
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Ten classes will be held in omnibus and each class is for three class-hours. The classes below are listed in random order.
