Case Studies in Mathematical Modelling for Medical Devices: How Pulse Oximeters and Doppler Ultrasound Fetal Heart Rate Monitors Work focuses on two medical devices: pulse oximeters and Doppler ultrasound fetal heart rate monitors. The mathematical topics needed to explain their operation from first principles are introduced. These broadly cover the statistics of random processes and Fourier based signal processing. They are used to explain the devices’ operation from first principles to how clinically relevant information is extracted from the devices’ raw outputs. This book is intended to be of value for MSc and PhD students in biomedical engineering and clinicians, and others, interested in the mathematics behind the design of the instrumentation that they employ. It could also be used in an applied mathematics course by providing real-world examples.
The book is for MSc and PhD students working in the area who want a quick, clear introduction to the topics, upper-division undergrads as part of biomedical engineering or applied math degree courses, biomedical engineers looking for a quick "refresher course" and clinicians interested in the operation of the instruments they use.

John Crowe retired in 2020 after working as a biomedical engineer in academia for 40 years. During this time, he worked on the development of numerous medical devices with a couple leading to the formation of spin out companies. He previously co-authored the undergraduate textbook Introduction to Digital Electronics (1998).
