Products
Wireless event recorder device (case study)
Next-generation ambulatory cardiac event recorder using a cellular modem platform; single-enclosure design replacing older two-box architectures.
Oximetry analysis software system (case study)
Windows application that transfers oximeter data, performs advanced analysis, generates reports, archives data to a database, and supports multiple languages.
Intra-compartmental pressure monitoring device (case study)
Integrated instrument for measuring and recording compartment pressure with touchscreen display, data logging, USB data export, and design for military airworthiness.
Peripheral artery disease measurement system (case study)
Redesigned single-enclosure peripheral artery disease detector that supports two-channel measurement and porting of legacy software code base.
First responder vital signs monitor (case study)
Ambulatory monitor that interfaces with garment-integrated sensors and wirelessly transmits heart rate, respiration, activity, position and temperature to a base-station GUI with alerting.
Contrast injector system redesign (case study)
Electrical redesign to replace obsolete components while minimizing software changes to reduce verification and validation effort and restore product shipment capability.
