Rats are our test subjects for better scanning techniques such as head clamps and rests. It is interesting to see ethical discussion thrown out the window when it comes to rats, not humans.
-
SLEEP APNEA
-
Sleep is one of the key pillars of healthy life, so it is vital we reach a solution
Sleep decreases as people get older, but it is still important. Sleep disorders costs $31B on loss of wellbeing
Lab monitoring systems like lab PSGs are expensive, intrusive and unaccessible.
Home monitoring systems are more comfortable and accessible, but compromise on depth of data and are still too complex to understand for the layman.

NANOPARTICLES
-
These treatments are still experimental and expensive, but can be an alternative to chemo in the future
-
ETHICS
EGOISM
If it's the best for me, I'll do it!
-
-
-
-
UTILITARIANISM
-
It doesn't matter if one group is affected more, it just matters that the damage is minimized AS A WHOLE
-
Ethics aren't clear cut, they're just GUIDELINES!

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
-
-
We often replacement our bones when we get older as the balance between osteoclasts and blasts tip towards the breakdown of our bones
-
We need calcium for our bones to get stronger, and we also need calcium to move our muscles
CONCEPT SKETCHES
-
IF we are designing something to be attached to the body, how does it make sense in the realm of our anatomy?
-
-
INDUSTRY
REGULATORY AFFAIRS
-
- VERIFY
is our device structurally and practically sound from our design?
- VALIDATE
if we do clinical trials, does it work the way we intend?
- REVIEW
having done all this, does it meet our standards?
Throughout the process, pre and post market studies need to be done.
Report any adverse effects to the TGA and if the failure rate is not acceptable, PULL IT FROM MARKET
-
A technical file records all this data:
device design!
audits for design and suppliers
audits for manufacture

-
We need to make sure we get our networking, experience
and marks in to secure internships
Most important is having fun, and also having a good network
There are many different types of 'biomedical engineers' -> we just need to broaden our search terms! research? testing? product quality?
