BML 300: INTRODUCTION TO HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING

L-T-P structure: 3 Credits (2-0-2)


Prerequisite(s): APL100, ELL101, MCP100
Course Status: Open for UG students, 2024 (Slot B)
Future Courses: BML401 Healthcare Entrepreneurship with BML 300 as Pre-requisite
Course Coordinator: Prof. Arnab Chanda, Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBME), IIT Delhi and
Department of Biomedical Engineering, All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) Delhi
Course objectives:
The first-of-its-kind course in the institute to introduce students to healthcare engineering concepts, for
development of products which can help in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of injuries and
diseases. Multidisciplinary topics will be covered ranging from biomechanics, biomaterials,
bioelectronics, bioimaging, to bioimplants. The understanding of these areas will help identify current
healthcare challenges in India, design and develop biomedical products for clinical and personal needs.
Besides the study of important theoretical concepts, the students will also be exposed to experiments,
simulations, and artificial intelligence (AI) based applications in research across labs in IIT, Delhi and
AIIMS, Delhi working in different areas of healthcare engineering, which will lead to hands-on learning
and equip them with the state-of-the-art skills to serve the ever growing healthcare and biomedical
devices market.
