What will I learn?
This practical course equips you with essential human biology knowledge to create effective wearable systems for physical tasks. You will study muscle anatomy, fatigue processes, and vital cardiovascular and respiratory functions, linking them to sensor selection, positioning, and data capture. Additionally, explore signal analysis, fatigue identification methods, feedback systems, safety measures, validation, privacy, and data management for trustworthy, ethical monitoring tools.
