We are living in revolutionary, technological times. The current technology has made our lives more connected, comfortable, efficient, and entertaining. But the technology has also revolutionized medical care! According to Chandrasekaran, Katthula, and Moustakas (2020), roughly 30% of American adults use wearable medical devices (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7600024/). As software and technology continue to improve and specialize, we would only expect this value to increase.
At Software Technology Group, we have had a long relationship with creating software solutions for medicine and medical devices and complex problems.
To name a few of our project-oriented solutions to complex problems:
- CAPSA Healthcare – medical carts and local and online prescription drug control. Embedded development and links to the cloud.
- Abbott Labs/St. Judes Medical – medical manufacturing software running. Development on multiple manufacturing platforms including wire winding, wire respooling, laser operation, resin coating, and flaw detection.
- EO Flow – Nordic based full development and mobile control of an insulin pump and a patient control interface. Created an FDA submissible software package.
- Pacific Diabetes – Nordic based Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) with mobile controller, ready for clinicals.
- UV Healthgroup – classroom-controlled lighting and bio-filtering using mesh network control and data dissemination.
- USGS – EPSON robot and motor control and hardware integration for a robot, carousel, barcode reader, scale and humidity indicator.
- FiberSonics – laser and fiber optic perimeter security device. Coded in C/C++ and .NET.
- Jory Financial – ATM backend development in Ubuntu to interface to the banking industry and a cash machine front-end.
From pacemakers, auto-ekg analysis, audiometry, behavior diagnostic systems for ADHD, and much more, we have a large number of successfully completed software projects in the medical realm and beyond. Our most recent project involved creating software and firmware solutions for a wearable insulin pump system. The project may have been our most ambitious project to date, given the variables and risk involved.
According to the CDC, diabetes is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. Additionally, diabetes is incurable, meaning that the only solution is to manage the disease and its symptoms (https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/spotlights/diabetes-facts-stats.html). The wearable insulin pump system was designed for easy, safe, and hassle-free diabetes management. The Software Technology Group contributed to the system through creating thorough documentation for the FDA, software for the mobile device used to control the pump, and firmware for the wearable pump itself. As with the prior software projects we have taken on, we are excited to see how our developments will continue to contribute to the future of medical care!
