This book explains all of the stages involved in developingmedical devices; from concept to medical approval including systemengineering, bioinstrumentation design, signal processing,electronics, software and ICT with Cloud and e-Healthdevelopment.
Medical Instrument Design and Development offers a comprehensivetheoretical background with extensive use of diagrams, graphics andtables (around 400 throughout the book). The book explains how thetheory is translated into industrial medical products using amarket-sold Electrocardiograph disclosed in its design by the GammaCardio Soft manufacturer.The sequence of the chapters reflects the product developmentlifecycle. Each chapter is focused on a specific University courseand is divided into two sections: theory and implementation. Thetheory sections explain the main concepts and principles whichremain valid across technological evolutions of medicalinstrumentation. The Implementation sections show how the theory istranslated into a medical product. The Electrocardiograph(ECG or EKG) is used as an example as it is a suitable device toexplore to fully understand medical instrumentation since it issufficiently simple but encompasses all the main areas involved indeveloping medical electronic equipment.
Key Features:
* Introduces a system-level approach to product design
* Covers topics such as bioinstrumentation, signal processing,information theory, electronics, software, firmware, telemedicine,e-Health and medical device certification
* Explains how to use theory to implement a market product (usingECG as an example)
* Examines the design and applications of main medicalinstruments
* Details the additional know-how required for productimplementation: business context, system design, projectmanagement, intellectual property rights, product life cycle,etc.
* Includes an accompanying website with the design of thecertified ECG product (www.gammacardiosoft.it/book)
* Discloses the details of a marketed ECG Product (from GammaCardio Soft) compliant with the ANSI standard AAMI EC 11under open licenses (GNU GPL, Creative Common)
This book is written for biomedical engineering courses(upper-level undergraduate and graduate students) and for engineersinterested in medical instrumentation/device design with acomprehensive and interdisciplinary system perspective.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Claudio Becchetti, RadioLabs, Italy
Claudio Becchetti graduated with honors in ElectronicEngineering in 1994 at the University of Rome, where he achievedthe Ph.D. in Telecommunications in 1999. From 2002 to 2009, he wasadjoint professor at the University "La Sapienza", faculty ofTelecommunication Engineering where he held first a course onIndustrial design and then a course on Signal Theory. Claudiohas 7 years teaching experience working with students studying ECG.This device is well suited as a practical example for signaltheory, digital signal processing, electronics and softwareengineering.
Professor Alessandro Neri, University of Roma TRE,Italy
Alessandro Neri he received the Doctoral Degree cum laude inElectronic Engineering from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in1977. Since 1992 he is responsible for coordination and managementof research and teaching activities in the Telecommunication fieldsat the University of Roma TRE, currently leading the Digital SignalProcessing, Multimedia & Optical Communications at the AppliedElectronics Department. His research activity has mainly beenfocused on information theory, signal theory, and signal and imageprocessing and their applications to both telecommunicationssystems and remote sensing.
