Portable medical product
The Brief
RDT needed a partner to support them in the development of their Tempus Pro life-saving remote diagnostics product that transmits a full set of medical parameters with simultaneous real-time voice and video. This required creation of an embedded solution that enabled RDT’s application developers to deliver a reliable, responsive, high quality experience that was simple to use, even for non-medically trained customers. The product should be capable of global deployment, with rapid system start-up and extended battery endurance.
Special requirements: robustness, CE mark, FCC, FDA.
The Solution
We worked with RDT’s engineering team to develop a multi-wireless standard hardware and software solution that allowed RDT to take the unit through a series of stringent medical, aviation and environmental conformance tests. Fen integrated a board support package and developed a fully documented software solution that presented a defined API to the application development team. Power efficiency for this battery operated unit was a key design consideration.
Detailed product requirement specification development. Analysis of problem plus implementation and testing of proposed solution.
Power consumption needed to be as low as possible in order to gain maximum endurance from the battery.
Formal verification & validation of the product design was required for this medical device.
Hardware
– Embedded processor control to handle a number of diagnostic and multimedia interfaces.
– Designing-in co-existence of a number of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, GSM/GPRS.
– Low-power design; a critical aspect of the project.
Software – Full WinCE based development including both a test & evaluation application on a Fen defined API. Included WinCE device driver development.
Test & Production – Test interface application development to create a tool that could be used for both hardware and software evaluation and lab test, and the basis of a production test application.

Fen Technology has been a valuable addition to the Xaar engineering team. They have allowed our engineers to remain focused on core developments and at the same time giving us the confidence that we can take on a greater developmental roadmap whilst retaining full intellectual ownership of all our product designs.
Fen was able to hit the ground running and, using their considerable skills and experience in Bluetooth product development, was able to quickly bring Securecom to a point where we were able to demonstrate a complete solution. As a result, we have asked Fen to continue to support Securecom towards Bluetooth Qualification and full production.
Fen has impressed us with how they have created a solution that has met both EMT’s needs of integration with our existing infrastructure and way of working, and provided a high quality feature enhancement to our product range.
Fen Technology’s skills and experience were a key factor in selecting them as a development partner. Fen’s ability to de-risk the design process was a significant benefit to us during the product development.
Fen Technology proved a worthy partner in supporting Nujira at a critical stage in the development of our leading-edge power amplification technology for the cellular infrastructure market. Fen’s experience and maturity of approach has given us the confidence to entrust them with a range of tasks that were integral to our early-stage development.
Fen’s engineers have done an excellent job in creating a sophisticated, flagship product that outperforms the competition with respect to price/performance ratio. The development methodology is mature and leads to qualitatively solid software, while Fen’s approach has been always persistent and professional.
