Abstract
Smart wearables for health monitoring are new technologies that enable customers to monitor and track their health. However, as the number of sensors in a wearable device grows, along with continuous monitoring and wireless communications, battery lifetime and charge length become a big concern. This issue is especially relevant for health monitoring of workers in hazardous environments such as emergency response responders, mining, and construction. In this research, we describe a wireless charging system for a health monitoring smart-wear application for workers, taking into account the power consumption needs of sensory hardware, communication technology, and realistic charging scenarios. We also show a functional prototype of a 5-watt wireless charging device utilized in our health monitoring wearable. Our paper describes the design, analysis of the needs, and important components of a 'wireless charging bin' that we are currently prototyping for our application.
