Health technology development has always been an interdisciplinary field involving collaboration between engineers and medical experts combining their respective skills. However, the education of biomedical engineers and medical workers are predominantly still monodisciplinary, with doctors studying in medical schools and biomedical engineers in engineering schools with very little overlap. This paper describes the development of an interdisciplinary case study-based course on human Anatomy & Physiology that involves collaboration between engineering students and medical students. In each case study, students are presented with a medical case, in which engineering and medical students would have to make decisions sequentially or cooperatively. For example, medical students would have to make decisions on clinical aspects of the case while the engineering students make decisions on the medical devices aspect. In the end of the case, they would have to make a decision on a diagnosis and course of treatment. The case study modules are developed using the H5P tool and thus can be done online interactively or on site in the classroom. Three pilot modules have been developed and are to be tested with second and fourth year biomedical engineering students working together with fourth year medical students taking a course on human anatomy and physiology.
