Secure Wireless SoCs for Connected Medical & Wellness Devices

The increasing adoption of connected healthcare, remote patient monitoring, and wearable wellness technologies is driving demand for wireless solutions that combine ultra-low power consumption, robust security, and highly reliable connectivity. Advanced wireless SoCs provide a scalable platform for developing next-generation medical and wellness devices, enabling continuous monitoring, real-time data collection, and secure communication across healthcare ecosystems.

Supporting Bluetooth® Low Energy, Matter, Thread, Zigbee®, and Wi-Fi, the portfolio addresses a broad range of applications including wearable health monitors, fitness trackers, smart medical devices, patient monitoring systems, healthcare gateways, and connected wellness equipment. High-performance processing, excellent RF characteristics, and a rich set of integrated peripherals allow designers to build compact, battery-efficient products while reducing system complexity and accelerating time-to-market. Combined with comprehensive software development kits and production-ready protocol stacks, these solutions provide a future-ready foundation for secure and interoperable healthcare devices.

Technical Approach

The portfolio integrates ultra-low-power Bluetooth® LE SoCs, IEEE 802.15.4 multi-protocol wireless devices, and high-performance Wi-Fi platforms to support diverse medical and wellness applications with varying connectivity, power, and processing requirements. Battery-powered wearable devices leverage Bluetooth LE for continuous smartphone connectivity, while Thread and Zigbee enable reliable, low-power mesh networking for connected healthcare environments. Wi-Fi platforms provide high-bandwidth communication for medical gateways, remote patient monitoring hubs, and cloud-connected healthcare equipment.

Built around high-performance 32-bit MCU architectures, the SoCs combine optimized RF performance, low-latency wireless communication, and extensive peripheral integration—including ADC, GPIO, PWM, UART, SPI, and I²C—to interface seamlessly with biometric sensors, displays, touch interfaces, and medical peripherals. Integrated hardware security features such as Secure Boot, AES encryption, secure key storage, true random number generation (TRNG), and authenticated OTA firmware updates help protect sensitive patient data and ensure device integrity throughout the product lifecycle.

Supported by comprehensive SDKs, certified protocol stacks, reference designs, and development tools, the platform enables rapid product development while delivering the performance, power efficiency, scalability, and interoperability required for next-generation connected medical and wellness devices.
