Wearable ECG Monitor Hardware Redesign
A wearable ECG monitor that needed to do more: Bluetooth, and enough storage to hold a full recording. I was at Sparv Embedded, and the work was consultancy for Linkura, whose name is on the boards. The unit was redesigned around those two requirements, with new firmware to match.
Adding BLE and a large storage capacity to an existing wearable is not a feature you bolt on. It changes the power budget, the layout and the parts list. I did the complete PCB redesign and the component selection behind it, through to the final board design for the ECG unit.
A fully hand-assembled prototype run to prove the board, new firmware with BLE integration, and C drivers written for the in-house firmware team to build on. On a short engagement the deliverable that matters is the one the team can carry forward without me.
