Yes.

  1. Upgrade MCU: Cortex M4 instead of Cortex M0+. This increases cost, though.
  2. 2 batteries instead of 1. This decreases cost, increases size and decreases power consumption. It's a tradeoff.
  3. Delta transmission: Only transmit when delta between last transmitted and current transmitted datapoint is above a certain threshold.
