Risk Management & Documentation

Mitigate risk and catch issues before they cost you.

We handle the complex documentation required to satisfy regulatory bodies and secure product approval, while proactively managing risks throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Documentation Creation: Produce regulatory-required reports and Design History Files (DHF) to enable and accelerate regulatory submission.
  • Risk Management Documentation: Identify and document risks for compliance and design optimization.
  • Standards Adherence: Align with industry standards like IEC 62304 and ISO 14971, critical for healthcare and other regulated environments.
Connection Reliability

BLE keeps disconnecting and no one knows why.

Even when hardware and firmware seem fine, BLE connections can drop unpredictably due to environmental noise, timing issues, or platform quirks. Reliable connections mean happier users, fewer returns, and faster approvals.

Common pain points: 

  • Idle disconnects
  • Breaks under load or with certain phones
  • Reconnect inconsistencies
  • Platform-specific BLE stack quirks
  • Timing conflicts with other wireless activity

Security & Bonding

Pairing succeeds, but your security posture might not.

Pairing and bonding are just part of securing a BLE device. Issues often surface later when reconnections fail, updates break, or a device does not meet evolving security standards. We help teams implement persistent bonding, strong authentication, and consistent security flows. Reliable security means safer devices, smoother updates, and stronger user trust.

Common pain points:

  • Devices pair but fail to reconnect securely
  • OTA updates blocked by security settings
  • Inconsistent bonding across platforms
  • Gaps in authentication or encryption
  • Bonding process fails compliance review

Performance optimization

BLE is connected, but data feels slow or unresponsive.

Performance problems can appear as lag, missed updates, or delayed UI actions. We tune BLE for speed and responsiveness by adjusting intervals, MTUs, and PHY settings while balancing power use and concurrency. Optimized performance means smoother UX and longer battery life.

Common pain points:

  • Slow or inconsistent data transfer
  • Performance drops with more devices
  • UI lag during BLE communication
  • Connection stalls during background activity
  • Inefficient packet or PHY settings

Tell us about your challenge
BLE Architecture Support

BLE works in isolation, but breaks at the system level.

GATT design, state management, and app-device sync all influence BLE stability. We design architectures that align protocol, logic, and user behavior so features ship faster and upgrades do not break existing devices. Solid architecture means fewer regressions and more flexibility.

Common pain points:

  • GATT changes break app compatibility
  • Firmware and app logic out of sync
  • Architecture limits feature growth
  • Poor handling of BLE state changes
  • Missing system-level coordination
Tell us about your challenge
Cross-Platform Debugging

BLE fials for reasons no one can trace.

Some bugs only appear when firmware, app, OS, and device timing interact in the wrong way. We debug across the stack, simulate edge cases, and validate fixes so they stick. Reproducible results mean faster resolution and fewer post-release issues.

Common pain points:

  • Bugs appear only in production
  • Behavior changes with timing or state
  • Failures tied to specific OS updates
  • Disagreements on where the bug lives
  • Limited or incomplete test coverage
