01 / Services

Six services, from the enclosure to the cloud.

Each service is one layer of a connected device, numbered from the enclosure (L1) up to the apps and cloud (L6).

  1. 01

    L4 Connectivity

    IoT & embedded systems

    Connected devices built around microcontrollers, sensors and wireless protocols.

    • Microcontrollers
    • Sensors
    • Wireless
  2. 02

    L3 Sensing

    EEG wearables & biosensors

    EEG and biosensor wearables, from earbuds to headsets.

    • EEG
    • Earbuds
    • Headsets
  3. 03

    L2 Electronics

    PCB design & hardware prototyping

    Schematics, board layout and rapid prototypes: every stage from the first schematic to assembled boards.

    • Schematics
    • Layout
    • Assembly
  4. 04

    L5 Firmware

    Embedded firmware

    Firmware built for real-time data.

    • Real-time firmware
  5. 05

    L6 Apps & cloud

    Mobile apps & cloud

    Mobile apps and cloud dashboards that connect devices, people and data, from Bluetooth pairing upwards.

    • Bluetooth
    • Mobile apps
    • Dashboards
  6. 06

    L1 Enclosure

    Product design & mechanical CAD

    Housings, enclosures and product structures, designed in CAD.

02 / Approach

One team, end to end. Every layer of the device.

Electronics, firmware, mobile apps and mechanical design are handled by one team, so each device is engineered as a single system.

  1. 01

    Plan

    The electronics, firmware, enclosure and software of a product are planned together, as one system.

  2. 02

    Design and integrate

    The same team designs each layer and integrates it with the layers around it.

  3. 03

    Assemble

    Every layer comes together in an assembled, working prototype.

03 / Process

How a device gets built.

One team takes a device through every stage, so the electronics, firmware, enclosure and software are designed together rather than joined at the end.

  1. 01

    Concept

    Your product idea, planned as one system: electronics, firmware, enclosure and software.

  2. 02

    Electronics

    Schematics, board layout and rapid prototypes, from the first schematic to assembled boards.

  3. 03

    Firmware

    Firmware built for real-time data.

  4. 04

    Enclosure

    Housings and enclosures for the electronics, designed in CAD.

  5. 05

    App & cloud

    Mobile apps and cloud dashboards that connect the device, its users and their data.

  6. 06

    Prototype

    Every layer brought together in one assembled prototype.
