Working with Nordic’s nRF9160 has been one of the most technically rewarding journeys in IoT firmware engineering. On the surface, it is a powerful module that combines LTE-M, NB-IoT, GPS, and an ARM Cortex-M33 in a single ultra-low-power package. For asset tracking, healthcare wearables, remote diagnostics, industrial telemetry, and logistics systems, it appears ideal. But here’s what many teams […]
Debugging battery drain in a wearable’s firmware starts by measuring what the device draws when it should be asleep, then finding which peripheral, interrupt or task is keeping it awake. The faults are small, a few microamps or a timer firing too often, and invisible in lab testing. They only show up as battery life

Artificial intelligence has crossed an important threshold in clinical diagnostics, and healthcare is beginning to feel the impact. For years, AI systems in radiology, pathology, and clinical decision support were positioned as assistants. They highlighted anomalies, suggested possibilities, and improved workflow efficiency. The final decision always remained with clinicians. That boundary is changing. With regulatory approvals validating AI tools

Choosing the wrong engineering partner rarely looks like a mistake at the beginning. On paper, everything appears aligned: strong portfolios, confident communication, competitive pricing, and impressive technical claims. But three months into development, reality often tells a different story. Timelines start slipping. Product quality becomes inconsistent. Communication slows down. Instead of accelerating development, your internal team
Medical implants have always represented the intersection of engineering precision and human survival. Devices such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, neurostimulators, and shunts already play a life-saving role in modern healthcare. But a new transformation is underway, one driven by artificial intelligence and embedded computing. We are entering an era where implants will no longer operate as static,
Embedded systems are transforming healthcare by turning medical devices from single-function machines into connected systems that sense, analyse and respond to physiological data in real time, at the bedside and in the home. Pinetics is revolutionising healthcare with embedded systems by deciding timing, safety and security in the hardware and the firmware together, inside the

IoMT evolution runs across three layers at once: hardware, communication and intelligence. Connected medical devices are gaining sensing, local computation and power efficiency in silicon, connecting through resilient low-power protocols and clinical data standards, and interpreting physiological data at the edge. An IoMT system succeeds when those three layers are engineered together rather than in

EMI/EMC design for medical devices protects the patient by making sure the device neither disturbs the equipment around it nor misreads, drops out or shuts down when that equipment disturbs it, through decisions taken at schematic and layout stage rather than at the test lab. That is why EMI/EMC design is a safety net for

Power optimisation turns a MedTech device that works on the bench into one that works on the patient: it decides how long a monitor runs between charges, whether an alert still fires on a low battery and whether the device passes the safety standards it is sold under. That is the importance of power efficiency

Choosing the right gateway for an IoT system starts with the work the gateway must do, not with a catalogue. An IoT gateway sits between the field devices and the cloud, translating protocols, filtering data, running local decisions and holding the security boundary, so off-the-shelf versus custom is an architecture decision for the whole edge
