Nowadays, the medical industry is using more and more electronic devices. With the advent of small-sized, low-power, and wearable physiological sensors and portable monitoring devices, this trend is only set to increase further. These technologies require real-time sensor processing, data acquisition, and communication operating on a tight power budget. Traditionally, FPGAs were not used for this type of application, but with the arrival of power-optimized FPGAs it’s now possible. For higher volume applications that require lower cost per unit, migration to an ASIC is an option.
Hardent’s team of expert ASIC and FPGA design engineers help customers in the medical industry overcome electronic design challenges and develop reliable, state-of-the-art medical devices.
We’ve worked on :
- Wearable physiological sensors

- Bluetooth low energy devices
- RF rechargeable devices
- Low-power FPGA designs
An example of one of our projects in the medical industry:
- Development of a portable sleep apnea monitor
- EKG and respiration monitoring and recording
- Oxygen saturation monitoring and recording
- Patient sleep position and movements during sleep recorded using a 3 axis accelerometer
- Capable of recording 72H without recharging
- USB 2.0 interface
