Software Development for Implantable Devices

Our blend of technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and customer-focused collaboration ensures that every project benefits from our dedication to excellence.

Embedded Firmware Development

Embedded firmware is the heartbeat of any active implantable device, dictating its functionality and reliability.

Prototype and IEC 62304-Complient Development

From proof-of-concept prototypes to fully IEC 62304-compliant software, we adapt to your needs.

Our Software Development

We offer integration of our readily available software modules of the Brain Interchange system into your own active implantable medical device to get to market faster.

RF-Link Technology

  • Bidirectional byte-oriented SPI interface
  • AES 128 encryption
  • Frequency negotiation and blacklisting
  • 2.4 MHz, flip-flop communication cycle 2ms (<=240 net bytes per frame)
  • Developed according to IEC 62304

Bootloader

  • IEC 62304 compliant bootloader development for implantable and non-implantable devices (i.e., MSP430, ST)
  • Fallback protection: bootloader keeps two images

Unit Test Framework

  • Based on Google Test for testing microcontroller C code on PC
  • Rapid test development in C++
  • Mocking of intrinsic functions and register calls

Wearable

We can develop customer apps (mobile devices e.g. tablets, smartphones and smart watches)

  • To control the CorTec Brain Interchange system
  • To control customer devices
  • Customization of CorTec Brain Interchange external components

API Development

We have experience with APIs to control our
Brain Interchange system in C/C++, Python and Matlab.

According to your needs, we can develop:

  • Additional programming languages
  • Customization of the existing interfaces
  • Linux portation of the existing libraries

CorTec Cloud
