Module 12. Biomedical Systems

There are a number of important applications of feedback control for biomedical systems. In this module we present a number of examples and suggest that instructors or students pick one of the topics for each interactive learning session. The goals are to learn more about modeling and control by applying the basic concepts to important problems in biomedical systems.

The sections of this module are as follows:

M12.1 Overview

M12.2 Pharmacokinetic Models (Chapters 2 and 3)

M12.3 Intravenous Delivery of Anesthestic Drugs (Chapters 5–7)

M12.4 Blood Glucose Control in Diabetic Patients (Chapters 5–9)

M12.5 Blood Pressure Control in Post-Operative Patients (Chapters 6–9)
