Afterlife
•About 80 graduates between 2002 – 2005•A follow-up study in 2004 (56 graduates):
•About 40 % were working in medical engineering•About 10 % were unemployed•The rest were either studying further or not in medical engineering or related jobs.•Both public (e.g. hospitals) and private (mainly Oulu-area companies) sector
Examples of bachelor’s theses
Image archive (PACS) design works for Oulu University Hospital
Image segmentation tool for Radiology Department ” Workflowanalyse für telemedizinische Anwendung ”
(made in Germany) Heart rate monitor-related works Air fighter pilot acceleration studies, related to head and
neck forces during high G’s EMG measurements and analysis-related works And many more …
Foreign exchange
A few students are taking part of the international student exchange programs every year
Teacher exchange also possible
R&D Center for Medical Engineering

Medical engineering laboratory
Electrical workbench for testing and building measurement electronics
Usability unit EM-shielded room
Usability unit
Tobii Eye Tracker
Can be used to determine what the user actually looks at when using a computer program or seeing a web page or video clip etc.
Rapid medical modeling
Based on Rapid Prototyping Technology.
The production process is controlled by 3D radiological images of the patient's anatomy
Photolitographic technique produces plastic model of the 3D image
Rapid medical models can be used
•For surgical planning and simulation •For custom made implant design •For medical education and research •As a communication aid for patients and colleagues
Rapid prototyping
In co-operation with Oulu University Hospital, Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Oulu Polytechnic, Institute of Technology.
Data is converted to SLC or STL file format.
Data transter to Oulu Polytechnic where data is reformatted for modeling.
Maximum model size using SLA 250 stereolithography equipment is 250 x 250 x 250 The model is delivered in two weeks after receiving the data.
ONE REPETITION MAXIMUM PREDICTION FROM A SUBMAXIMAL PERFORMANCE IN WEIGHT LIFTINGManne Hannula, Jukka Jauhiainen and Sami Äijälä
An example of an ”own” research project of the RD Center Patent pending The use of acceleration sensors to estimate how much weight
can be lifted once Bench press and dumbbell concentration curl 30 subjects Mean absolute error less than 10 %
