Case Study: World’s Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer achieves BLE-enabled smart apparel PoC and high-precision heart-rate tracking with Softeq

Android Wear And Mobile Demo App For Smart Sports Apparel

The customer, a world‑leading semiconductor manufacturer, engaged Softeq to turn an in‑house embeddable board for smart garments into an IoT system by developing an Android mobile and Android Wear demo app. The core challenge was reliable BLE synchronization and massive data‑pack processing while achieving high‑precision heart‑rate detection, pedometer and calorie tracking despite noisy built‑in electrodes and integration with existing firmware.

Softeq delivered a feature‑complete Android and Android Wear prototype integrated with the customer’s custom BLE environment, adding filtering algorithms to improve heartbeat accuracy and fine‑tuning data transmission stability; the apps report heartbeat, steps, distance and calories in real time. Softeq met time and budget constraints, produced a usable PoC for the customer’s internal teams, and earned a referral to a partner division—demonstrating measurable delivery (on‑time/on‑budget PoC) and validated sensor performance.
