Posted on: Wednesday, 4 February 2009, 01:00 CST

CONTINUA WINTER SUMMIT and TOKYO, February 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluegiga announced today that its OEM Bluetooth modules are now available with Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP). The Health Device profile is integrated into Bluegiga's iWRAP firmware, running inside the Bluegiga module, significantly simplifying and reducing the need for engineering and testing time for any type of health or medical device.

"Bluegiga's Health Device Bluetooth profile with Bluegiga OEM module helps device manufacturer to develop wireless features into existing or new devices with very limited amount of engineering. Bluegiga modules are completely supported by Bluegiga meaning that for the OEMs, Bluegiga is a single point of contact for any kind of development or support," comments Mr. Mikko Savolainen, Customer Service and Product Director at Bluegiga Technologies.

The Health Device Profile is available for both Bluegiga WT11 Class 1 module and Bluegiga WT12 Class 2 module which use CSR silicon and run Bluegiga's iWRAP Bluetooth connectivity firmware. Bluegiga is the first in the world to offer HDP for CSR based silicon.
