Bold Type – Developing wireless, connected medical devices and digital health apps to speed up your time to market

The healthcare system has been going through a technological evolution. In the past few decades, we have improved our methods to diagnose, monitor health conditions, and alert medical professionals and patients with greater accuracy. How is wireless technology used in medicine and healthcare? Wireless technology offers significant convenience and accessibility with the use of sophisticated devices capable of detecting, monitoring, and feedback to designated personnel in real-time. Modern equipment in the medical industry uses wireless technology to transfer information. It offers greater accuracy, avoids manual tasks, and anyone can access the data in real time. With technology advancements like IoT in healthcare, patients will get the best care, and medical professionals will be able to work smartly and efficiently in the future. Medical equipment manufacturers are aware of the huge potential in the healthcare industry, and researches are in progress to improve the system.

Bold Type is one such firm that specializes in rapidly developing cutting-edge and robust connected, wireless medical devices. They are experts at hardware and software development. It has been part of Bold Type's DNA from day one. They can help you take a product from concept through FDA/CE clearance and volume production. With an increased desire for in expensive preventative care, the demand for more “personalized” care is expanding and growing. This phenomenon is giving rise to a new medical paradigm known as P4: predictive, preventative, personalized and participatory healthcare. The premise of P4 is that physicians can use personalized, actionable information to make more cost-effective diagnosis and treatments. Bold Type develops connected wireless devices which help physicians.

Leveraging Industry-Leading Connected, Wireless Devices and Apps

Proof-of-Concept Prototyping: Bold Type has developed hundreds of connected wireless medical devices, and have the talent, experience and processes to quickly transform your concept into a functional, the proof-of-concept device to validate your approach. After the trial, they review user feedback and technical data to gauge prototype performance, determine if objectives were met, and assist with any design modifications. The company and its team of experts are here for the long term, and they know if they can help you move quickly and less expensively through the proof-of-concept phase, you’ll remember us when it’s time to build the next one.

Wireless Medical Device Product Development: Product development cycle is not simple and adding wireless connectivity to a device involves much more than adding a WiFi adapter. There are thirteen primary development milestones to be met along the way to full commercialization. There are the obvious ones – preparing the project plan, creating the prototype, developing and testing the product, determining the final design, preparing the documentation, and defining the regulatory strategy. And there are the not-so-obvious milestones, such as outlining the full system architecture, performing biocompatibility testing, aligning your packaging and shipping processes with regulatory requirements, and verifying your cellular connectivity plan with the FCC. At Bold Type, they are not intimidated by this long and specific list of requirements. The company specializes in developing connected, wireless medical devices, moving them quickly and competently through each of these milestones. They can translate your conceptual sketch into a fully developed product ready for commercialization. They will even prepare your regulatory submissions for you, and help you establish your quality management system.

Digital Health Apps: Imagine the competitive advantage of knowing how a new therapy performs in different demographic groups, how well patients tolerate the therapy, or the impact that comorbidities can have on patient outcome – without having to go through lengthy and expensive clinical trials. Medical device manufacturers are adding patient sensors and mobile applications to their products, and forward-thinking pharma companies are partnering with these manufacturers to co-package their therapies with companion devices. These sensors monitor the effectiveness of a therapeutic regimen in real-time, while monitoring patient adherence to the protocol. With this data, pharma companies can help improve patient outcomes – while protecting their revenue stream. At Bold Type, they deliver technology that allows pharma and medical device companies to maintain their competitive edge while developing targeted therapies and digital health apps that support public health. They are experts at developing sensors and companion apps for medical devices, and connected wireless devices are their specialty.
