Recent Techniques for Harvesting Energy from the Human Body

The human body contains a near-infinite supply of energy in chemical, thermal, and mechanical forms. However, the majority implantable wearable devices are still operated by batteries, whose insufficient capacity large size limit their lifespan increase risk hazardous material leakage. Such can be used to exceed battery power limits devices. Moreover, novel materials fabrication methods create various medical therapies life-enhancing technologies. This review paper focuses on energy-harvesting technologies health applications, primarily collectors from body. Current approaches harvesting bodies living subjects for self-powered electronics summarized. Using as an source encompasses numerous topics: thermoelectric generators, kinetic energy, cardiovascular harvesting, blood pressure. considers perspectives future research, which provide new forum advancing diagnosis, treatment, prevention diseases integrating different harvesters with advanced electronics.
