Wearable technology has become an essential part of modern healthcare, offering innovative solutions to monitor and enhance patient well-being. Hitesh, a talented engineer with a focus on embedded systems and wireless communication, played a critical role in the development of Smart Sock 3—a device that has set new standards in infant health monitoring. His work, spanning from January 2016 to September 2020, showcases his ability to merge cutting-edge technology with practical applications that have a tangible impact on lives.
The Development of Smart Sock 3
Hitesh’s contribution to Smart Sock 3 was nothing short of transformative. Tasked with architecting and implementing the core features of the device, he focused on areas such as wireless charging, BLE communication, and the overall system architecture. Working within the constraints of a real-time operating system (RTOS), Hitesh’s approach was methodical and thorough. He implemented rigorous unit and integration tests in C and Python, ensuring that each component of the Smart Sock 3 functioned flawlessly and met the high standards required for medical devices.
His work didn’t stop at the code level. Hitesh also took charge of analyzing field data using BigQuery (SQL) to proactively identify and resolve customer issues. This data-driven approach not only improved the product’s performance but also enhanced the user experience, making the Smart Sock 3 a trusted tool for parents and healthcare providers alike.
Redesigning the BLE Module
A key challenge in the development of wearable technology is balancing innovation with cost efficiency. Hitesh addressed this by developing a replacement BLE module that significantly reduced manufacturing costs. His redesign involved overhauling the firmware and creating new test fixtures, all while ensuring that the device maintained its high level of performance and reliability. This achievement exemplifies Hitesh’s ability to innovate in ways that are both technologically advanced and economically viable.
Supporting the Manufacturing Process
Hitesh’s role extended beyond engineering into the manufacturing domain, where his expertise proved invaluable. He was instrumental in redesigning manufacturing tests for legacy products, focusing on improving reliability and reducing costs. His firmware developments ensured that the BLE range and functionality were thoroughly tested, which was crucial for the device’s success in the market.
Moreover, Hitesh took a hands-on approach to ensure the smooth transition from design to production. He provided on-site support at manufacturing facilities, both domestically and internationally, to set up and troubleshoot processes. This on-the-ground involvement was key to overcoming production challenges and ensuring that the Smart Sock 3 met the high standards set during development.
