General description Esta materia estrutúrase en tres bloques. No primeiro bloque o alumno coñecerá aspectos básicos da biomecánica con exemplos no desenvolvemento de órtesis híbridas. No segundo bloque analizarase a situación actual da telemedicina, a medicina participativa e os dispositivos wearables que favorecen as actuais liñas de investigación deste ámbito. No último bloque o alumno coñecerá os últimos avances e aplicacións de sistemas de sensorización cerebral e da actividade da saúde das persoas

Assessment comments

In order to pass the subject it is essential to pass both the assignments and the laboratory practices with a minimum grade of 50% in each assignment.

The grading system will be expressed by numerical grade according to the established in art. 5 of the Royal Decree 1125/2003 of September 5 (BOE September 18), which establishes the European credit system and the grading system in university degrees of official character and valid throughout the national territory Grading system: 0-4.9=Failure 5-6.9=Passed 7-8.9=Good 9-10=Outstanding 9-10 Honors.

If the student does not pass the course at the first opportunity, the same work must be handed in at the second opportunity, contacting the professor beforehand to evaluate the particular situation.

The teacher responsible for the subject will apply the corresponding regulations of the UDC when detecting any attempt of plagiarism motivated by a student of the subject in the development of his/her work. The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the grade of failure '0' in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities in the extraordinary call.
