Problem context

The client required a medical-grade wearable capable of continuous monitoring of blood pressure, ECG, pulse, blood oxygen saturation, and body temperature while ensuring predictable data behavior and remote access.

Constraints

  • Medical-grade measurement accuracy
  • Classical cuff-based blood pressure measurement on the wrist
  • Secure remote data exchange
  • Hardware suitable for further certification

Engineering decisions

Decision: Cuff-based wrist blood pressure measurement
Reason: Provides clinically validated accuracy compared to optical methods.
Trade-off: Increased mechanical complexity.
Decision: Device-first data acquisition with server integration
Reason: Ensures reliable real-time monitoring and remote control.
Trade-off: Requires backend infrastructure.

System overview

Wearable medical device with custom electronics, embedded firmware, and server-side communication for real-time data exchange and remote control.

Outcome

Multiple fully functional prototypes. Signal processing algorithms with <5% measurement error. Remote monitoring and command exchange. Prepared for fundraising stage.
