Area of Science:

  • Physiology Education
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Remote delivery of physiology laboratory courses presents challenges for educators.
  • Need for accessible, cost-effective, and customizable solutions for remote physiology education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an inexpensive, customizable hardware kit and freely available resources for remote physiology laboratory courses.
  • To enable students to conduct insightful physiological experiments remotely without prior technical experience.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a hardware kit using commercially available, Arduino-friendly electronic components, requiring no soldering.
  • Developed open-source software, including all necessary codes, lab manuals, and video tutorials.
  • Structured the remote course with asynchronous lectures and synchronous lab sessions.

Main Results:

  • The hardware kit is cost-effective, comparable to a textbook, and customizable for various instructional needs.
  • All software, codes, and teaching materials are freely available and open-source.
  • The laboratory component includes units on data acquisition, electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), and activity classification, plus a final project.

Conclusions:

  • The developed resources facilitate the rapid implementation of remote physiology laboratories by educators.
  • The open-source hardware and freely available resources support pedagogical applications of wearable technology.
