Summary
The biotelemetry lessons are meanly intended for students of bachelor study branch of biomedical technology or engineering,
but it can be attended by other students of electrical engineering bachelor and master study branches.
In the course of biotelemetry students can learn about possibilities and methods for (biomedical) data transmission
for different purposes, distances with different technologies. The course is designed practically as much as it is possible.
Most of presented themes are verified by students in practical measurements. These measurements are similar
to real today’s applications of biotelemetry. It is recommended to attend this course in higher years of bachelor study.
Biotelemetry is concerned with transmission of quantity from the source into the distance where analysis, display is done.
In medical science the transmission of electrical signal is meant where the information about the measured quantity is somehow encoded.
The Telemedicine is an inseparable element, where the medical signal could be voice, verbal and especially visual for the distance
between a doctor and patient or between the single medical workplaces..
