Self‐powered wearable medical devices for cognitively impaired older adults

A novel ionic thermoelectric device was developed to harvest ultralow-grade heat from the body for power generation effectively. This technology holds great potential for powering wearable health monitoring devices for older adults with cognitive decline, as it can overcome challenges associated with their cognitive impairment, which may hinder their ability to recharge their devices.

Abstract

A novel ionic thermoelectric device was developed to harvest ultralow-grade heat from the body for power generation effectively. This technology holds great potential for powering wearable health monitoring devices for older adults with cognitive decline, as it can overcome challenges associated with their cognitive impairment, which may hinder their ability to recharge their devices.
