Start from a complete solution, not a “hello world” app
For medical device startups, time is key. MGDK brings a solid hardware platform, connectivity, cloud integration and reusable development assets from the day you hold it in your hands.
- Proven in real productsMGDK is currently used as an ECG, a vital signs monitor and a lateral flow reader. In our last project, it saved one year of development and a high five-figure amount in NRE.
- The hard parts are already solvedAnalog front-end, wireless charging, battery management, firmware, cloud integration and EMC/EMS testing. These are the technical risks that usually cost the most time.
Built for
- Mobile ECG, EMG, EOG, sleep or similar biopotential monitors
- Lateral flow readers or similar potentiometric biosensors
Typical users: startups and manufacturers starting a new ECG, EMG, lateral flow reader or similar product, including R&D, software and systems engineering, service organizations and quality or regulatory stakeholders.

Discuss your deviceDeployment options
From a development setup towards your integrated product architecture.
With mdeg Cloud
A complete solution to start from.
mdeg Cloud as the central environment for device data, processing, dashboards, analytics and customer-specific features.
With the Patient Hub
Configuration-free home care.
Combined with the mdeg Patient Hub, MGDK immediately becomes a configuration-free mobile home care monitoring device.
Embedded or deeper integration
Towards your product design.
For product-specific designs, the connectivity function can be integrated as an embedded module or software layer.
Customer-specific application
Your logic, your integrations.
Extend MGDK with your application logic and third-party integrations, with source-code access or an optional IP buy-out where contractually scoped.
The exact scope of customization, source-code access and IP buy-out is agreed for each project.
What mdeg MGDK enables
Get to a first connected use case faster, with less in-house effort and fewer technical risks.
- A fully functional, cloud-integrated ECG, EMG, EOG, sleep or potentiometric monitor
- A first connected use case with less in-house effort
- Timeline reduced by one year in our last project
- A high five-figure NRE amount saved in our last project
- Reduced risk on analog front-end, wireless charging, battery management, firmware, cloud integration and EMC/EMS testing
Documented for your technical dossier
Development documentation is part of the kit, not an afterthought.
MGDK is fully documented according to IEC 60601 and IEC 62304, with pre-certified EMC/EMS tests. You get full access for easy integration into your technical dossier.
Your finished device still goes through its own conformity assessment; MGDK gives it a documented, tested starting point. In mdeg Cloud, device data is processed in a certified information security management system (ISO 27001) and privacy information management system (ISO 27701).

Which applications is MGDK made for?
Mobile ECG, EMG, EOG, sleep and other biopotential monitors, as well as lateral flow readers and other potentiometric biosensors that require sensitive analog signals. MGDK is currently used as an ECG, a vital signs monitor and a lateral flow reader.
Which sampling rates does it support?
8 channels with 24-bit resolution and up to 32kHz sampling, with 8kHz in real time.
Can we adapt the hardware to our product?
Yes. The modular platform allows tailored customization without complete re-engineering. For product-specific designs, the connectivity function can also be integrated more deeply as an embedded module or software layer.
Do we get access to the source code?
Where contractually scoped, MGDK comes with source-code access or an optional IP buy-out. The sources also allow integration with third-party systems. The exact scope is agreed for each project.
Is a cloud subscription included?
Yes, 6 months of cloud subscription when you combine MGDK with the mdeg Starter Kit.
Does the MGDK documentation replace our own approval?
No. MGDK is fully documented according to IEC 60601 and IEC 62304 with pre-certified EMC/EMS tests, and you get full access for your technical dossier. Your finished device still goes through its own conformity assessment; the documentation gives it a head start.
