Course Overview
The Biomedical Signal Processing certification course will give a complete overview of the program at an initial phase. The candidate will study the different approaches of electrical engineering in relation to biomedical fields that will be equally taken in a theoretical and practical manner. The course will be divided into smaller modules that will make the student more engaged with the ongoing innovations happening in the field of the biomedical signal processing sector.
The Biomedical Signal Processing certification that will be provided by the government in the last of the completing the course will help the candidates to study the same respective field and course in a further progressive manner that will enhance the candidate’s compatibility in terms of understanding and grasping the significant sectors of the field in a better way. The Biomedical Signal Processing training will be turned with a practical and evidence-based study that will make the learning of the course more interesting and engaging to tackle by the enrolled students.
The core value of the program is entirely based on the elementary education in the field of engineering that will be further pursued in this respective program.

Eligibility Criteria
Work experience
In order to apply for Biomedical Signal Processing by Swayam, there is no such prerequisite in terms of the post-work experience that a student needs to acquire in any respective field.
Education
The Biomedical Signal Processing certification course is entirely based on the basic background knowledge about signals and systems and familiarity with basic functions and definitions of probability. So, the enrolling candidate needs to have certain skills and knowledge in respective areas along with that candidate to obtain the computer skills in the form of familiarity with MATLAB that will be used throughout the program learning.
Certification qualifying details
In accordance with getting eligible for Biomedical Signal Processing certification, the applicant must apply for the final term paper to be held in presence by the government and need to obtain 75% as an aggregate mark in it and along with that he or she needs to submit all the internal assignments as scheduled and should obtain 25% marks in it because it is the only requirement that the candidate has to fulfill in order to gain certification in the last phase of the course.
What you will learn
By the last of the Biomedical Signal Processing program, the candidate will learn the following -
- Candidates will have a complete understanding of ECG and EMG and their relative significance.
- Candidates can grab complete information in regards to notch filters.
- Candidates have a complete understanding of the working of zero-crossing rate.
- Candidates will understand the perspective of each segment that will impact the working of the model.
- Candidates have complete knowledge about the motor unit firing pattern by the last of the program.
- Candidates will attain complete information about the programming of different models used in their respective fields.
- Candidates will get better understanding regard to the functioning of biomedical signal processing.
- Candidates by the end will get an efficient and effective understanding of each particular portion that carries a significant role in this respective model.
Who it is for
Following candidates can go for opting this course -
- This training is designed for engineering students in their final year of graduate study or even in their graduate school.
- Students in electrical engineering with strong experience in signals and systems are qualified to take this course. Students in other technical areas or in the fields of computer science, mathematics, geophysics, or physics should also be eligible to take this study.
