Innovative Sustainable Solutions for Continuous Power Supply in Wearable Technology Through Energy Harvesting
Wearable devices can enhance quality of life by allowing patients to live independently while monitoring vital signs remotely. The reliance on batteries, however, is a limitation, as devices stop working once the battery is depleted. Energy harvesting from human and environmental sources presents a solution, providing continuous power for wearables and portable devices. This project focuses on low-voltage energy harvesting methods like photovoltaic cells, thermoelectric generators, piezoelectric materials, and magnetic induction to power IoT systems, with stored energy in batteries.
