Medical Devices & Telehealth Systems

ComTrade offers comprehensive software development and testing services especially for the sector of medical devices and telehealth systems. Since telehealth is composed from various technology solutions and medical devices represent a very delicate development sector, quality and long-duration support obligations represent a big challenge.

We have specialty skills in diagnostic, management, testing, protocols, and product platform migration to complement our core customer’s engineering skills, and provide constant support for our services and products. Our rigorous methods of software development ensure reliability to meet any safety and regulatory requirements that medical industry requires.

Strong Expertise in Development and Services for the Medical Market

Today's medical devices are essentially embedded systems which are becoming more complex and more interconnected. Applications range from point-of-care communication protocols (which enable medical devices and workstations to communicate with access points), data concentrators and mobile devices to multi-faceted laboratory information systems. The following use cases confirm our strong expertise in the field of medical embedded systems:

• Point-of-Care Communication: We have designed and implemented the basic part for Point-of-Care Connectivity (standard POCT1-A2) to enable the remote administration and data transfer between a medical device and device management system, as well as several vendor-specific protocol messages of the POCT1-A2 standard for one of the world leading diagnostic providers of blood gas analyzers. The end solution was initially delivered as a stand-alone service, and then later integrated into the existing data management system. For more information on our POCT1-A2 protocol implementation options, check the POCT-A2 Building Block document.
• Telehealth System: For a rapidly growing telehealth supplier and its remote care solution that included IP-based video and IP-based remote monitoring, we covered the complete Bluetooth stack development (incl. BT Medical profile), implemented connectivity protocols for diverse medical peripherals (Pulse oximeters, ECG devices, respiratory flow monitors, fetal monitors, weight scales, blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors) and web/analog cameras. We have also implemented IP video streaming using Linux open-source components.
