The number of Bluetooth devices and applications found in new vehicles continues to increase as auto manufacturers adopt such proven, feature-rich wireless technology to enable innovative use cases in areas like infotainment and wire replacement.
In a nutshell, Bluetooth development involves a long list of steps and activities. But everything stems from a fundamental one: selecting the right Bluetooth device for the project. Generally, this means finding the device (e.g. SoC, module, transceiver, etc.) that satisfies all or most performance, cost, energy and other relevant targets, and more importantly sometimes, that comes with the software, tools and support necessary to make the development process as fast and painless as possible.
The Industrial IoT is a digital transformation process for enterprises offering them compelling abilities to manage and overcome many growing challenges for their business activities. In this webinar, we will review key industrial use cases for Bluetooth, the main performance requirements for Bluetooth in industrial, and the technical features available in Bluetooth to meet industrial use case requirements. Also, we will highlight Bluetooth devices available in Infineon's portfolio to help get your next industrial IoT design started today. Join us and learn how to enable the Industrial IoT's digital transformation with Bluetooth, and with Infineon products.
In this short webinar, we will review the new features defined in Bluetooth v5.4 and discuss, both, the special capabilities they enable and their impact. In addition, we will explore application examples that illustrate the advantages offered by the latest Bluetooth spec, including higher energy efficiency and scalability.
Periodic Advertising with Responses, or PAwR, is an extension to periodic advertising, and allows synchronized devices to send back responses to the broadcaster. In this webinar, join us for a demo and to learn about the benefits provided by PAwR for applications such as Electronic Shelf Labeling, Solar Farms, and more.

Migraine is a complex, incurable neurological disease estimated to affect 12% of the global population. Its diagnosis, treatment and management are challenging because migraine affects different people in different ways.
Conventional migraine treatment methods have generally been based on over-the-counter or prescribed medications. However, for an important percentage of those affected by migraine, these medications are either ineffective or lead to disruptive side effects with a negative quality of life (QoL) impact. Hence, alternative and effective methods or devices for migraine care are needed in the market.
Theranica, a digital therapeutics company based in Netanya, Israel, and Bridgewater NJ, USA, has developed Nerivio, a groundbreaking remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) wearable for the treatment of migraine.
Nerivio is an innovative neuromodulation wearable that stimulates nerves in the upper arm through REN. The nerves carry messages to the brain to activate a pain-management response to naturally turn off migraine pain without the need of any medications.
Nerivio is the first FDA-cleared, clinically-proven REN wearable for acute and/or preventive treatment of migraine (indicated for ages 8+ in the United States and 12+ in other countries where it is available). Each Nerivio provides 18 full 45-minute treatments, then can be refilled for additional treatments. The disposable design assures that the patient doesn’t need to remember to keep the battery charged or replace the electrodes while being able to treat just about anywhere. The wearable is placed on the user’s upper arm and worn with an armband during treatments. For its operation, Nerivio uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) to connect to a smartphone where the Nerivio application must be installed to control the wearable, to set the treatment intensity, to log activities and monitor migraine patterns, and to enable other beneficial features for the user.
For anyone living with migraine, Nerivio is a valuable treatment option, particularly for the millions of adolescents and children who face limitations in using traditional drug treatments. It has been shown to effectively reduce or prevent migraine attacks and can be used alongside or as an alternative to medication. Nerivio can be worn discreetly while performing normal daily activities. It is safe, effective, and has no systemic side effects.
For the smart health wearables industry, Nerivio is spearheading a new segment of Bluetooth-based therapy devices for idiopathic pain conditions, with great commercial and social potential.
Nerivio’s design demands optimal hardware components to enable
- High resolution, low noise analog to effectively measure electrical signals (e.g. ADC, DAC, opamps)
- High precision signal processing to stimulate and trigger body pain inhibition mechanisms
- Robust Bluetooth connectivity to enable reliable and secure smartphone-based communication and control
- Various interfacing options for user interaction
- System reliability and quality matching therapeutic device needs and expectations
- Low energy, compact size and cost efficiency
Theranica turned to Infineon’s portfolio of Bluetooth LE devices and selected the PSOC 4 BLE MCU for Nerivio and, more recently, the PSOC63 BLE MCU for NerivioInfinity, its next generation migraine treatment solution. They chose PSOC Bluetooth MCUs for the development of their pioneering products because they are capable of delivering
- Fully integrated, single chip solutions supporting all hardware features needed
- Computing and control capabilities matching the needs of the application
- Industry-proven Bluetooth LE connectivity
- Programmable, low noise analog front-end circuitry for bio signal sensing
- Capacitive touch sensing
- Proven track record in wearables for health care applications
“Infineon’s Bluetooth MCUs offered the best analog integration, sound computational power, reliable BLE communication, low power, and compact system real estate. Also, they allowed the flexibility we needed to create safe, state-of-the art wearable devices.” stated Slava Barabash, Theranica’s Vice President of R&D. “Partnering with Infineon proved to be the right choice for Theranica. We received good design documentation, convenient tools and prompt technical support resources that helped to get our designs implemented quickly.”
Theranica envisions Nerivio becoming the leading first-line treatment option for people with migraine to treat and manage the disease, substantially improving their quality of life. Drug-free, meticulously designed with young patients in mind, and with a high safety profile, Nerivio’s FDA clearance was recently expanded to children (ages 8+). Also, Theranica is constantly working on expanding insurance coverage of Nerivio so more patients can have access to drug-free treatment. So far, Nerivio has been gaining significant traction in the market and is becoming an increasingly important smart health wearable in the fight against migraine.

- Fully integrated, single chip solutions supporting all hardware features needed
- Computing and control capabilities matching the needs of the application
- Industry-proven Bluetooth LE connectivity
- Programmable, low noise analog front-end circuitry for bio signal sensing
- Capacitive touch sensing
- Proven track record in wearables for health care applications
“Infineon’s Bluetooth MCUs offered the best analog integration, sound computational power, reliable BLE communication, low power, and compact system real estate. Also, they allowed the flexibility we needed to create safe, state-of-the art wearable devices.” stated Slava Barabash, Theranica’s Vice President of R&D. “Partnering with Infineon proved to be the right choice for Theranica. We received good design documentation, convenient tools and prompt technical support resources that helped to get our designs implemented quickly.”
Theranica envisions Nerivio becoming the leading first-line treatment option for people with migraine to treat and manage the disease, substantially improving their quality of life. Drug-free, meticulously designed with young patients in mind, and with a high safety profile, Nerivio’s FDA clearance was recently expanded to children (ages 8+). Also, Theranica is constantly working on expanding insurance coverage of Nerivio so more patients can have access to drug-free treatment. So far, Nerivio has been gaining significant traction in the market and is becoming an increasingly important smart health wearable in the fight against migraine.
