BIOSENSOR STARTUP Aims to Untangle Hospital Patients

摘要

Surendar Magar still wonders about what to call the business he started in 2008. The chief executive of biosensor startup HMicro, he said in a recent interview that while the company is trying to change how hospitals gather data from patients, he still does what he has always done: make chips. Magar's biography is dyed in semiconductors. After finishing a doctorate in digital signal processing, he joined Texas Instruments and helped develop the TMS320 microprocessor released in 1983. He later started the Wi-Fi chipmaker Athena Semiconductors, which he sold to Broadcom in 2005. HMicro has also devised its own unique chips, but it is difficult to leave healthcare out of the equation.
