Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
In the module "Medical Technology 2 - an organ system based approach" the following organ systems are the focus (subject to change): respiratory system, nervous system, urogenital system, digestive system, sensory system (especially ear). The module is complementary to "Medical Technology I - an organ system based approach", in which other organ systems are covered. Both modules are independent of each other.
Learning Outcome
- Extensive knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of organ systems
- Understanding of the functional principles of the corresponding medical diagnostic and therapeutic solutions
- Knowledge of the use of medical technology solutions in the medical environment
- Ability to apply the knowledge for own medical technology developments, for example in the form of bachelor, semester or master theses.
- Evaluation of regulatory and legal requirements for the manufacture, certification and marketing of medical devices

eLearning |
Learning and Teaching Methods
In the live lecture or a corresponding video lecture, the theoretical basics (e.g. anatomy, physiology and pathology of organ systems, functional principles of the corresponding technical diagnostic and therapeutic solutions) are taught in a structured and comprehensive manner. In addition to the lecturer's presentation, the teaching of the basics is also visually supported by videos. By integrating teaching units on basic knowledge that some students have already learned in previous courses (e.g. basic cell biology), all students should be brought to the same level of knowledge. The presented slides as well as further information will be made available to the students online via the Moodle learning management system in order to enable them to follow up the content on their own.
In the exercises, the acquired knowledge about the use of medical technology solutions can be further deepened by attending surgical operations, where both the disease patterns and the therapeutic measures can be demonstrated live and discussed with clinical experts. The exercise thus consolidates the knowledge by providing a connection to the real clinical environment.
After the lecture, the tutorial offers students the opportunity to ask the lecturer specific questions individually or in small groups. Through the question-answer format, further gaps in knowledge can be closed or individual areas of interest can be explored in greater detail. The lecturer will go beyond the contents of the lecture in his explanations in order to place the knowledge in a larger medical technology context.
