Adaptive electronics for photovoltaic, photoluminescent and photometric methods in power harvesting for wireless wearable sensors.

ABSTRACT: The increasing demand for continuous, comprehensive physiological information captured by skin-interfaced wireless sensors is hindered by their relatively high-power consumption and the associated patient discomfort that can follow from the use of high capacity batteries. This paper presents an adaptive electronics platform and a tri-modal energy harvesting approach to reduce the need for battery power. Specifically, the schemes focus on sensors that involve light in their operation, through use of (i) photometric methods, where ambient light contributes directly to the measurement process, (ii) multijunction photovoltaic cells, where ambient light powers operation and/or charges an integrated battery, and (iii) photoluminescent packaging, where ambient light activates light-emitting speci
