Interactive catalogue of models in biomedical engineering

Abstract

Modeling and simulation are very common ways of studying living system properties. They help to understand physiological processes and changes in the processes caused by an intervention can be easily studied. Modeling and simulation play an important role in teaching because they allow illustrate in a transparent way all significant phenomena. The paper describes a developed catalogue of biomedical models that is used in the course "Simulation and modeling" - in master study program Biomedical engineering. The catalogue is presented as an interactive system of models in the Matlab-Simulink environment and has been gradually extended with the help of several master students. The system is designed as open with the possibility of further expanding. The idea of the system, its configuration, system control and overview of presented models are described.
