From sensor to product

Whether you have already completed development of your hardware medical device, you just have a novel prototype sensor or you are somewhere in between, Camgenium can help you.

At minimum, we can provide the technology you need to connect your device to the cloud, and add apps and websites. If you need more, we can help provide high performance, ultra-low power and noise circuitry to turn your sensor into a device.

Connectivity

Camgenium's Soft Silicon connectivity solutions use Nordic Semiconductor chips supplied as preprogrammed ICs or modules. These are designed to be built into your device, where they accept data from your device, buffer it and transfer it to the cloud. They can also be used to send instructions and over-the-air updates to your device. Soft Silicon supports data transfer from your device via BLE, Wi-Fi and NFC. It is an ultra-low power implementation and meets medical device standards, including high data security.

Apps

Camgenium's platform enables smart, richly functioning apps to be very rapidly created that can either communicate directly with your device via Bluetooth to accept data from it and also send instructions to it. Alternately, they can communicate with your device via the internet. We have a range of pre-configured apps to act as a starting point for your own branded app that cover a wide range of applications and reduce the time taken to produce a custom app.

Websites

Camgenium's platform will rapidly create websites with a wide range of functionality. We also have a large number of pre-configured applications that can further accelerate your website to completion. Websites can provide:

Device management and allocation to users
App management
Clinician and device user screens to view data and enter additional relevant information
User management
Specific clinical trial management capabilities
Issue and support management

Device circuitry

Camgenium is able to help with circuitry to create a high functioning device from a sensor. Circuits are provided as documented PCB snippets. To a large extent, these use the processing capabilities within the Nordic Semiconductor chips used for the communications. They include:

low noise A-D
clock
power supply with battery back up that will run from 5V supply or contactless charger
We can also provide assistance with circuit design and layup. Through our partners we can access industrial designers and state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities at prototype scale to ensure new products incorporate world-leading design.

This very early stage prototype subcutaneous sensor was rapidly built into an early prototype device using Camgenium hardware designs that allowed it to run for 14 days on one charge and transferred data to an app and website via NFC.

The customised app and website showed time and date stamped readings taken by the device together with contextual information about each experiment.

In this case, whilst the sensor performed as required in vitro, it sadly failed to perform when strapped to a person. By turning the sensor rapidly into a high functioning, low noise device with GCP compliant data logging, the experimental team quickly evidenced that there was a problem with using the sensor in vivo. They were able to cut their losses and turn their resources to improving the sensor design.
