The Soft Silicon™ platform

Soft Silicon is simply the best solution for developing and deploying connected medical devices. Using the Soft Silicon technology platform will save you significant time, cost and greatly reduce your risks, and give your product world-beating comms.

The Soft Silicon platform includes hardware designs as well as firmware to convert a novel sensor into a device that is connected to an approved medical cloud. It also enables rapid realisation of patient and clinician apps and to healthcare systems. Camgenium has invested extensively to create a range of technology that is compliant to the relevant medical and data privacy regulations, laws and rules to save you the time, cost and risk and allow you to focus on your core IP and business model.

Soft Silicon realises the new world of healthcare products that allow patients to be monitored continuously, almost wherever they are. We are making the left shift from cure to prevention possible.

Soft Silicon makes it possible to use sophisticated AI and ML, both on data sent by devices, and in the device, using weightings derived from the patient's personal conditions that are updated as changes are entered into the patient's medical record.

Using Soft Silicon greatly reduces the risks for both development and deployment. Developing and deploying medical devices are highly skilled and specialised activities that require a wide range of specialists to be hired. Moreover, all work must be undertaken strictly in compliance with relevant regulations and failure to comply carries severe penalties. Soft Silicon technology modules provide most of the common functions needed in medical devices and are licensed with documentation that certify compliance to required standards, removing the risk of non-compliance for these aspects of a project. They also eliminate the time and risks of developing solutions, akin to redesigning the wheel. Given the quality and rich range of features provided by Soft Silicon, it simply makes no sense not using it.
For deployment, Camgenium offers a range of SLAs to ensure your deployment is easy, smooth and remains fully compliant.

Soft Silicon has been developed to ISO 62304 Class 3 safety standards allowing it to be used for even the most critical of applications.

Camgenium's medical cloud provides a standard interface to allow your devices to connect easily to mainstream health systems and share patient data.

Soft Silicon is available either as a set of licensable technologies, including firmware, hardware designs with PCB snippets and software services. Alternately, Camgenium offers a full service to take a sensor and turn it into a connected device together with patient and clinician apps and web services and device management systems, and then deploy it until the end of its lifecycle. Or you can opt for a middle position.

Soft Silicon is a world-class communications implementation. It uses best practices, including high performance encryption to ensure data remain confidential and secure. Data transmission is loss-less by design - losing data is designed a never event in the requirements, and it provides a full audit trail that evidences where each data packet was and when together with checksums that prove integrity. Soft Silicon works across BLE, Wi-Fi including Wi-Fi 6, cellular and Lo-Ra networks,

Soft Silicon is an industry leading implementation of an augmented BLE Mesh network. It allows devices on the same network to share data via BLE when in range and so utilise the best available route to the internet available. This provides great resilience and allows devices to move around a ward, a hospital, a care home or even from a patient's home via an ambulance to the hospital and remain continuously connected to the medical cloud.

Our innovative implementation of BLE enables devices to switch to a high data transfer rate mode to enable applications such as continuous ECG monitors.

Soft Silicon has implemented a range of features to address data transmission problems due to poor connectivity. These include sophisticated sharing of data between devices in the same locality that work together to form a Mesh network so if any one device has connectivity, the other devices can use it; loss-less data transmission, so data are not lost if transmission temporarily fails; and, packetized data transfer to minimise data loss in when connectivity is intermittent.

The firmware components in Soft Silicon that are designed to run on device have been designed to ensure ultra-low power operation. These use sophisticated, industry leading techniques to achieve spectacular performance.

Camgenium's medical cloud is fully maintained to be regularly compliance as are the range of cloud services we provide. Customers receive regular compliance reports as evidence for their technical files. Camgenium's hosting is available in multiple jurisdictions globally and provided with a range of SLA's according to the requirements.

Camgenium's wider technology platform provides the capability to develop richly featured custom patient and clinician apps and device management solutions rapidly. Like Soft Silicon, its paradigm is that the technology should provide the common features required by medical device software applications.

For organisations with the capabilities to undertake development and deployment in house, we licence the Soft Silicon hardware designs, firmware and cloud software services to make it easier and faster to get your product to market. We also provide a wide range of services in deployment depending on requirements.

Soft Silicon provides device management solutions to enable devices to be assigned to patients and / or locations, to be grouped appropriately and updated either collectively or individually with data and software updates.

Camgenium has a full service capability providing custom development of new connected medical devices based on your sensor, apps and other software products. We almost never put our name onto a product and do not compete with our clients. Our business model is to provide white labelled services as an OEM.
