SEALSQ Highlights Its Subsidiary IC’Alps’ Low-Power, Secure ASIC Design Expertise for Implantable and Connected Medical Devices

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Featured in the DeviceMed Buyer’s Guide 2026–2027, IC’Alps develops custom integrated circuits for medical technology applications where ultra-low-power operation, compact form factors, reliability and security are critical

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today highlighted the medical technology capabilities of IC’Alps, its Grenoble-based integrated circuit design subsidiary which SEALSQ acquired in August 2025. Featured in the DeviceMed Buyer’s Guide 2026–2027, IC’Alps has been developing custom electronic solutions since 2018 for applications including smart ultrasound probes, implantable cardiac devices, Holter monitors, MEMS sensor control systems, intracranial pressure monitoring, X-Ray equipment, and brain-computer interfaces.

SEALSQ’s acquisition of IC’Alps added custom ASIC design capabilities, strengthening the Company’s ability to address specialized, high-value applications requiring high performance, ultra-low-power operation, miniaturization, reliability and, where applicable, advanced cybersecurity. Through its ISO 13485-certified design and supply expertise, IC’Alps works with medical-device developers to create application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, tailored to the requirements of each product. These capabilities can help customers address complex requirements for compact form factors, power efficiency, sensing, processing and system integration in implantable, wearable and connected medical devices.

The medical-device market represents a strategic application area for SEALSQ’s expanding semiconductor and cybersecurity portfolio. As devices become smaller, more connected and more data-intensive, medical device developers require highly specialized electronics that combine reliable sensing and processing with power efficiency, miniaturization, traceability and, where applicable, security. IC’Alps’ custom ASIC capabilities position SEALSQ to address these requirements across implantable, wearable and connected medical-device applications.

“Medical devices increasingly depend on custom electronics that deliver high performance while consuming very little power as few nanowatts,” said Carlos Moreira, Chairman and CEO of SEALSQ. “IC’Alps brings specialized design expertise to this field and helps customers develop technology tailored to the therapies their devices support. Importantly, IC’Alps also provides SEALSQ with a platform to combine advanced custom-chip design with our security expertise as connected medical devices face increasing cybersecurity requirements.”

“Every medical application presents a different engineering challenge,” said Jean-Luc Triouleyre, Managing Director and Co-Founder of IC’Alps. “Our teams work closely with customers to design integrated circuits that meet demanding requirements for performance, power efficiency and integration while complying with stringent quality standards such as the ISO 13485 and ISO 14971. In addition, we continuously monitor evolving regulatory requirements, including AFNOR Spec 2311, as well as the growing cybersecurity demands in connected Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDs), leveraging SEALSQ’s expertise in cybersecurity”.

The opportunity extends across a growing medical electronics industry. Fortune Business Insights estimates that the global medical electronics market was valued at $10.68 billion in 2025 and projects that it will reach $16.73 billion by 2034. The Company believes demand for customized, power-efficient and secure electronics may be supported by the continued adoption of remote monitoring, connected-care platforms, advanced sensing, miniaturized devices and next-generation implantable technologies.
