Medical Device Engineering
We specialize in developing ISO 60601-compliant microelectronics and safety-critical embedded firmware tailored for medical applications. From ultra-low-power solutions optimized for implantable devices to robust RTOS-driven architectures for patient monitoring systems, our software engineering practices adhere to IEC 62304 design and lifecycle standards. Collaborating seamlessly within our customers' ISO 13485 quality systems, we also offer expertise in ISO 14971 risk assessment to streamline your certification process.
Medical Solutions We Developed

Blood Pressure Monitor
We wrote the firmware for an acute-care hemodynamic monitoring device. This is a specialized oscillometric blood pressure system utilizing a pressure cuff placed around the patient's finger. This advanced system continuously measures and reports systolic and diastolic blood pressure, providing accurate, real-time insights critical for patient care.

Infusion Pump
We developed a robust network communication module for an infusion pump deployed in hospital environments. This mission-critical device supports both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing seamless and reliable access to remote drug libraries essential for infusion therapy.

Intervertebral Disc Implant
We designed the microelectronics and embedded firmware for an artificial disc. This implant incorporates embedded diagnostics that continuously monitor device integrity, providing early alerts for potential displacement or subsidence issues. The implant includes an ultra-low-power microcontroller capable of real-time motion sensing, and bi-directional telemetry using the MICS communication standard. The system includes an inductive coupling solution to wirelessly recharge its integrated Lithium-Ion battery.

Hand Hygiene Compliance
We designed the hardware and developed the firmware for a hand hygiene compliance system, the touch-free sanitizer dispensers healthcare facilities use to track and encourage handwashing. The work covered the microcontroller and its firmware, the PCB design, RFID, and the magnetic and optical sensors that register each use.
