Case Study INDUSTRY Scientific Instruments Electronics SERVICES Industrial Design Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Embedded Engineering Systems Engineering RF Engineering Prototyping Designing a wearable that changes kids and parents lives Opportunity / Background Nocturnal enuresis—commonly known as bedwetting—stems from a developmental delay in the neural pathway that links the bladder to the brain, preventing a child’s […]
Handheld Ultrasound
Brief Case Study Handheld Ultrasound Handheld Ultrasound Client: Pocketsonics (Acquired by Analogic) Sonic Window The team developed a packaged handheld device around our client’s novel miniature ultrasound detector. The device is particularly useful for placing needles and catheters when the vein is difficult to find or there are delicate surrounding structures.
High-Resolution VR/AR Goggles
Brief Case Study High-Resolution VR/AR Goggles This goggle was created to provide consumers and developers with a high-definition, ultra-wide field-of-view augmented reality solution. Bluefin worked with our client to develop an adjustable and lightweight solution that met the needs of the evolving VR/AR community. The design incorporated large, high-quality optics, high-resolution displays, and dense electronics.
Sample Collection Device
Brief Case Study Biological Sample Collection Device Biological Sample Collection Device The Bluefin team developed a device that is used for the collection and transport of airborne particles, including viruses such as COVID-19. The device design is straightforward, combining a disposable sample dish with a benchtop enclosure that can be placed in public spaces to […]
Head-Mounted Display
Brief Case Study Head-Mounted Display Head-Mounted Display This head-mounted display (HMD) was created to support Neurologists who treat patients with head trauma. Bluefin worked with the system developer to design the packaging of the HMD embedded with sophisticated optics, OLED displays, and IR eye-tracking electronics so doctors can diagnose, evaluate, and treat people with concussions.
Handheld Medical Device
Brief Case Study Handheld Medical Device Handheld Medical Device Bluefin developed a handheld device to deliver high voltage output, controlled by a consumer cell phone. The design featured very high density packaging as well as user experience appropriate for a first-response scenario.
Force-Feedback Endoscope

Scopes include active and passive haptics, providing realistic look and feel equivalent to Olympus, Terumo, Johnson & Johnson, and Karl Storz flexible and rigid […]
Biometric Key Fob
Brief Case Study Biometric Key Fob Biometric Key Fob The team of engineers developed a handheld “fob” that performs a 1:1 match between a registered owner and the biometric template encrypted within the device. The fob includes electronics hardened to FIPS 140.2 and offers standalone communication over Bluetooth as well as high- and low-frequency RFID.
Advanced Gesture Recognition
Brief Case Study Advanced Gesture Recognition Advanced Gesture Recognition The team developed a handheld device which successfully demonstrated navigation of complex geometries via advanced gesture input, including multiple MEMS sensors. The system included an electroplated enclosure for EMI mitigation along with excellent tactile response. The algorithms developed were subsequently licensed to brand-name handheld manufacturers.
