| Mircod | IoT and IoMT (Healthcare IoT) creation require ever-increasing and sophisticated electronic design. It also demands a superior level of expertise and necessitates the need for experienced and highly professional companies to expedite the development process. At the core of every electronic product is the electronics (hardware) and firmware(software) needed to run it.Mircod experience and multi-disciplines enable the company to provide turnkey development of: • Circuit Schematics: Analog & Digital, Gerber Artwork, and Layout Design. • Embedded Systems. • Firmware & Micro Controller Programming Software Design. • User-Interface Development. • Hardware Design for CE, FCE, UL, ROHS, WEEE, and FDA.The ability to provide the right, properly “up and running” comprehensive prototype for the desired idea, while selecting the precise components, defines all aspects of a product's performance, realistic proof of concept, durability, cost, and successful market penetration.MIRCOD brings together personnel with substantive expertise in all primary disciplines required to deliver the most complicated hardware and software solutions. This flexible and multi-skilled team brings an inherent understanding of the R&D in hardware and software related activities and the interfaces with other system delivery disciplines (mathematical algorithms, system engineering, sourcing, advanced materials, and manufacturing) required for success. MIRCOD also has the advantage of having worked on a diverse range of activities across a varied customer base in both production and prototyping capacities.BIOTECHNOLOGY Industry - MIRCOD actively participates in R&D projects initiated by international consortiums. Gene therapy technology developed in consideration with international top cell and gene biotech companies and universities, guarantees to transform tomorrow's medicine by treating the causes of disease rather than the manifestations.IoT Industry - We make the Internet of Things easy from Sketch to Scale. MIRCOD white-labeled rapid IoT web-based platform for rapid design, prototyping, design, and manufacturing is a hardware and software-agnostic system with white-label mobile apps, private BA and BI, complete device management, custom-defined analytics, and advanced AI.ROBOTICS Industry - MIRCOD AI-enabled robots are designed to work with scientists on a daily basis in a high demanding space at biotech laboratories. The MIRCOD autonomous robotic arms can be left alone to perform time-consuming biotechnological tasks in R&D biotech labs like setting up comprehensive predefined experiments in POC stations.HEALTHCARE Industry - MIRCOD team believes that today's remote monitoring technology isn't sufficiently advanced to predict a potential adverse event and alert a monitoring provider before disaster strikes. Our mission is to enhance these technologies and bring to the market an “ease of use” remote monitoring technology platform that enables continuous, configurable, wireless acquiring of biometric parameters from the human body.
