Embedded software:
The brain behind your device

Embedded software is the key to making your medical device smarter, more responsive, and more effective.

Our software engineers are always two steps ahead of the latest advances in software development for Class II/Class III devices, including cardiac rhythm management, neuromodulation, and other implantable devices.

  • Power management: Embedded software is the most critical component of a low-power device. Properly architected software can optimize the use of battery power, extending the life of implantable devices and reducing the need for frequent charging or replacements.
  • Real-time monitoring: Advanced sensing and data collection enable continuous monitoring of patient biosignals and other clinical indicators, allowing the device to respond in real-time and alert a medical provider to changes in the patient’s condition.
  • Adaptive algorithms: Advanced algorithms can help the device learn from patient data and adapt to their needs over time.
  • Security: As medical devices become more connected, advanced encryption, authentication, and other security safeguards are critical to the protection of patient data and privacy.

Code that will scale with your product roadmap

Good code will make your device work as expected today. Great code will be designed to support the functionality you may want to add in the future — whether it’s a new hardware component, additional sensors, or new analytic capabilities.

There is more to it than just code: Software Quality Management Systems

When it comes to medical device software, getting the code to make the device function is just part of the picture. To support regulatory submission, our team will check all the boxes ensuring the design and development process is documented in compliance with ISO 13485:2016, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and any applicable regulatory standards.

Ensure the software development, testing, and release processes meet regulatory requirements.
Define a risk management process that identifies and mitigates risks associated with the use of the software in the medical device.
Ensure the use of secure coding practices, software architectures, communication protocols, and procedures for penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and code analysis.
Define procedures for verifying and validating the software to ensure that it meets the intended use and regulatory requirements.
Define procedures for maintaining software, including monitoring performance, fixing bugs, and addressing security vulnerabilities.
Define procedures for managing changes to software, including version control, documentation, and traceability.
Define the accompanying software documentation, including requirements, design specifications, test plans, and user manuals.
Define procedures for the retention of software records, including source code, binaries, and test results, for the life of the device.

Result-based business model

Cash efficiency is a “do or die” proposition for any early stage company, and hourly-priced projects can quickly lead to cost and time overruns.

Our pricing is based on results, giving you the predictability you need to plan your budget and meet your funding milestones with confidence.

And with direct access to our project management system, you have real-time visibility into our progress so you always know where you are.

You pay for: Milestones completed

You don’t pay for: Our time

design for success

From napkin sketch to commercially-viable product, we take a holistic approach to product development, addressing all the required aspects for your device to be successful:

Technical
Ensuring the device can perform as required to deliver the intended clinical results

Usability
Ensuring the device can be operated in the intended clinical setting

Standards
Ensuring the design and development process is documented in compliance with ISO 13485:2016 and that the design meets the requirements imposed by relevant regulatory standards

Manufacturability
Ensuring manufacturing is feasible within your business case assumptions and identifying qualified suppliers and manufacturing partners

Financial
Optimizing device cost of goods sold (COGS)
