Nordic Semiconductor unveils nRF54LV10A - a breakthrough low-voltage Bluetooth LE SoC for next-gen healthcare wearables

Nordic Semiconductor, a global leader in low-power wireless connectivity solutions, today launches the nRF54LV10A SoC, setting a new benchmark for integration, performance, and battery life in the smallest medical devices. Engineered specifically for space-constrained, low-voltage Bluetooth® LE applications, the nRF54LV10A can be powered directly by a single silver oxide coin cell making it ideal for wearable biosensors, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and other healthcare applications.

Meeting demand for connected healthcare

Consumer demand for connected healthcare wearables has never been greater. According to Grand View Research, the global wearable medical devices market was estimated at $42.74 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $168.29 billion by 2030 due to a major increase in remote patient monitoring and home healthcare. This unprecedented growth requires developers to constantly address and improve the unique design challenges that body-worn sensors and discreet healthcare devices present.  

“The new nRF54LV10A reflects a clear trend in the healthcare segment, engineered to solve some of the key design challenges for next-generation medical devices,” says Oyvind Strom, EVP Short-Range at Nordic Semiconductor. “Better power efficiency and smaller size are becoming key requirements for CGMs and wearable biosensors. The nRF54LV10 SoC delivers both – setting a new high standard for integration, optimized performance, and extended battery life in the smallest medical devices.”
