Abstract

With the increase in people’s concern for personal health, the demand for convenient health monitoring electronics has grown noticeably. Wearable physiological sensors with multi-functionality and continuous power supply are constructed through system-level integration and delicate circuit design for energy management and low-power sensing. Energy harvested from body motion and solar or domestic lighting has great potential in powering wearable electronics, eliminating the need of batteries or plug-in power sources. Triboelectric nanogenerators readily fabricated with digital ink-jet printing display a high-power output of 30.96 mW/cm2 after integration with a flexible thin-film solar cell, which ensures unremitting work of the sensors. The self-powered physiological monitoring system can continuously monitor and wirelessly transmit the electrocardiogram, blood pressure, temperature, and motion parameters of the human in real-time without the need for an external power source, providing the wearer with a reliable monitoring means.
