Harnessing Energy for Implantable Biomedical Instruments with IoT Networks

Abstract

In biomedicine, implantable devices are charged using multiple wires or batteries. However, these biomedical devices have certain dangers to patients like pore and skin infections, chemical side effects because of batteries and many greater risks. Moreover, these implantable biomedical devices have various other issues, such as limited lifetime of battery, large size and so on. To overcome these kinds of difficulties, researchers have investigated diverse power-harvesting techniques to strengthen implantable biomedical devices. This chapter is an assessment of special energy-harvesting methods used for powering implantable biomedical devices. The motive of this chapter is to gather all of the methods related to human supply used to date for energy harvesting in biomedical implantable devices. This will offer readers a thorough history to deal with the issues and demanding situations faced in developing batteryless implantable biomedical devices.
