The comic · Human Anatomy & Physiology (HAP)

Week 6 of 17

FEBRUARY 25 TO MARCH 2

Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.

Drawing, panel 27: Bioethics: wearable data privacy.

Should an employer be allowed to see the data from a wellness wearable they paid for? The wearable is a gift with a sensor in it.

Drawing, panel 28: Muscle fatigue and EMG basics.

Electromyography. Muscles produce a measurable electrical signal when they fire, and as they fatigue the signal changes in a predictable way.

Drawing, panel 29: Sensor and range-of-motion lab.

Real sensors, real numbers, units on everything. The EMG signal in millivolts, grip force in newtons, joint angle in degrees, multiple trials.

We were measuring our own setup, not the muscle. Start over and seat it the same way each time.

Drawing, panel 30: Kinesiology data analysis.

Graph of force or angle against trial number, then a CER claiming what the trend shows about fatigue.

Drawing, panel 31: Submit motion-data evidence.

Raw table, labeled graph, fatigue CER, and a limitations line about the sensor placement problem.

Panel 31Submit motion-data evidence
Drawing, panel 32: HOSA meeting.

First real HOSA meeting. We are choosing competitive events and I am looking at the one on medical terminology, partly because the vocabulary overlaps almost exactly with what this class is already making me learn.
