BIOE 60: Scalable and Distributed Digital Health

The combination of the internet, phones/wearables, and diagnostic/generative AI allow fundamentally different approaches to healthcare to be conceived. Contemporary healthcare still relies heavily on human doctors, which restricts the number of people that can be helped, limits scaling and quality, and sets a basic cost floor on services. The purpose of this seminar is to explore a potential all-digital tech stack for healthcare, including diagnostic AI, data collection at the edge, and privacy-preserving compute. We will hear from industry experts and startup founders, and consider technical gaps as well as legal/societal barriers to ubiquitous adoption of healthcare provided primarily by computers.

BIOE 123: Bioengineering Systems Prototyping Lab

The Bioengineering System Prototyping Laboratory is a fast-paced, team-based system engineering experience, in which teams of 2-3 students design and build a bioengineering-relevant system (e.g., centrifuge) that meets a set of common requirements along with a set of unique team-determined requirements. Students learn-by-doing hands-on skills in electronics and mechanical design and fabrication. Teams also develop process skills and an engineering mindset by aligning specifications with requirements, developing output metrics and measuring performance, and creating project proposals and plans. The course culminates in demonstration of a fully functioning system that meets the teams' self-determined metrics. Learning goals: 1) Design, fabricate, integrate, and characterize practical electronic and mechanical hardware systems that meet clear requirements in the context of Bioengineering (i.e., build something that works). 2) Use prototyping tools, techniques, and instruments, including: more »

BIOE 177: Inventing the Future (DESIGN 259)

The famous computer scientist, Alan Kay, once said, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." As such, we are all responsible for inventing the future we hope we and our descendants will experience. In this highly interactive course, we will be exploring how to predict and invent the future and why this is important by focusing on a wide range of frontier technologies, such as robotics, AI, genomics, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, 3D Printing, VR/AR, synthetic meat, etc. The class will feature debates in which students present utopian and dystopian scenarios, and determine what has to be done to inoculate ourselves against the negative consequences. Limited enrollment. Admission by application: dschool.stanford.edu/classes.

Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-15 | Repeatable 15 times (up to 60 units total)

BIOE 219: Fundamentals of Regeneration Biology (DBIO 219)

This class will be a guided tour into regeneration biology, with an emphasis on fundamental developmental processes. Instead of focusing on what we know, the goal of this course is for students to trace how we know, and how we should ask questions for the future. In my opinion, the most important scientific problems are often left unresolved not for lack of adequate information, but for lack of insights to specify the questions that require explanation. Therefore, in this class, we will work together to search for important questions in the area, by reconstructing historical and controversial ideas, dissecting classic literature, formulating our own questions, and debating to test our answers. This class is a tour, as there is no intention for it to be comprehensive; students will be treated as my future colleagues and provided by a taste of science ? you should progress in your own way, at your own pace that matches your ambition in learning. Therefore, I expect the class to be interactive and even provocative, and the students to be willing to read beyond the class as active reading is essential to succeed in this course.
