| Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT |
| Lesson Topic: Know and understand medical applications including printing of prosthetics, tissue engineering, artificial blood vessels, customised medicines |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe how ICT enables 3‑D printing of prosthetic devices and outline the production workflow.
- Explain the ICT contributions to tissue engineering, including scaffold design and bioprinting.
- Analyse the role of ICT in creating artificial blood vessels and the importance of compliance modelling.
- Evaluate how ICT supports the development of personalised medicines through genomics and 3‑D printing.
- Apply knowledge of ICT medical applications to identify related career pathways.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector and screen
- Computer with internet access for each student
- ICT lab computers with CAD/3‑D modelling software
- Video clips of 3‑D printing and bioprinting processes
- Worksheet and case‑study handouts
- Assessment rubric / exit‑ticket sheets
|
Introduction:
Begin with a short video showing a 3‑D printed prosthetic limb being fitted to a patient to spark curiosity. Ask learners what digital tools they think were used and link this to prior knowledge of CAD. Clarify that by the end of the lesson they will be able to describe four key ICT‑driven medical applications and evaluate their impact.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑Now (5'): Quick quiz on basic ICT concepts (CAD, additive manufacturing).
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Overview of the four medical applications with annotated slides.
- Group activity (15'): Students rotate through three stations – (a) prosthetic design simulation, (b) scaffold‑design worksheet, (c) personalised tablet case study – and record key ICT steps.
- Whole‑class debrief (10'): Each group shares findings; teacher highlights advantages, limitations, and compliance equations.
- Check for Understanding (5'): Exit‑ticket where learners write one real‑world benefit of ICT in each application.
- Homework assignment (2'): Research a recent biomedical ICT breakthrough and prepare a 1‑minute pitch for the next class.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the four ICT‑enabled medical innovations and emphasise how digital design, data management, and rapid manufacturing intersect to improve health outcomes. Collect exit‑tickets to gauge understanding and remind students of the homework research task, linking it to the upcoming career‑exploration discussion.
