Training activity information
Details
Apply and evaluate the application of a model that describes a physiological system which incorporates a system of differential equations
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- For example: Mechanical ventilator-lung, muscle-tendon interaction, pressure-flow relations in cardiovascular function, urodynamic function, and muscle activation-contraction dynamics
- Numerical methods
- Reduction of higher order DEs to systems of first-order ODEs
- Numerical integration methods.
- Discretisation error
- Interaction between anatomical/physiological subsystems
- Sensitivity of solution to parameter values
- Software environments
- Model validation
