Addressing the severe energy, thermal, and physical constraints of implantable medical electronics with dedicated silicon.
Implantable medical devices (IMDs) like cardiac pacemakers and deep-brain stimulators run on non-rechargeable primary batteries designed to last 10-15 years. Every microjoule spent on cryptographic calculations reduces the device's operational lifespan. MedicalHSM utilizes ultra-low-power sub-threshold CMOS logic that executes cryptographic handshakes using less than 15 microjoules of total energy.
To prevent unauthorized wireless interrogation of implants from across a room, MedicalHSM requires physical acoustic or inductive near-field pairing before opening diagnostic radio channels, guaranteeing that only healthcare providers in direct physical contact can interact with the device.
In trauma emergency rooms, attending physicians must reprogram pacemakers without waiting for central cloud authorization. MedicalHSM supports cryptographically blinded emergency break-glass tokens distributed to emergency response networks worldwide.
