We utilize requirements gathering and a phased development process to generate design outputs and documentation that take your idea from napkin to manufacturing.
We bring wireless expertise to your organization and your product system architecture and help you through implementation allowing you to maintain focus on your core medical competency.
Component selection and obsolescence management, electrical schematic and circuit board layout using industry-leading design tools in collaboration with your technical team.
Development of PC applications, web apps, embedded microcontroller bare-metal and RTOS firmware, embedded Linux, iOS/Android apps, backend logic and data storage integration.
Medical product standards interpretation, product/system architecture and requirements creation, technical development team coordination and direction, communication of project schedules and budgets.
We act as an independent quality assurance team, analyzing requirements and writing verification/validation test procedures, executing, and providing you reports to go directly into your DHF and regulatory submissions.
PWM redesigned a client’s rigid-flex PCBA assembly for a battery-powered drug infusion pump when the two existing microprocessors reached end-of-life status. Design aspects included USB, parallel and QSPI memory interfaces, parallel RGB LCD interface, and analog sensors. A custom development board to aid early software efforts, as well as a firmware flashing interface board were also designed as part of this project.
Disciplines: EE, SysE/PM
PWM performed a feasibility study to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of various wireless technologies to be used in a wireless ENT tool navigation system. PWM had to reverse engineer certain aspects of the existing EM field generator and built a proof-of-concept prototype system to locate tools in an EM field. The prototype utilized BLE development hardware and custom firmware.
Disciplines: Wireless, EE, SW/FW, SysE/PM
PWM designed the electrical hardware and device firmware and collaborated with outside industrial design and mechanical engineering partners. The hardware design included a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, OLED display, USB, hardware-based safety lockouts, temperature sensing, and a Peltier drive circuit for controlling temperature. Device firmware development included a closed loop temperature control algorithm, OLED screen development, navigation/menu systems, as well as a serial command-line interface for script-based automatic testing.
Disciplines: Wireless, EE, SW/FW, SysE/PM
“The entire Palmer team has been fantastic to work with throughout our software development and verification process for our complex and novel medical device. Their communication with our internal team was always excellent, open, and honest throughout the project.”
“The PWM team was able to gauge the amount of calendar time and billable hours various activities would take with an extremely high degree of accuracy, more than any other vendor we partner with, thereby minimizing budgetary surprises and making schedule planning easy.”
“We received a grand total of zero questions regarding the software development and verification activities, which is a testament to the excellent work of this team on putting together a solid submission package for our software. My thanks go out to Palmer Wireless Medtech for their partnership on this journey!”
