An Integrated Approach to Energy Harvesting and Power Management Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis

Implantable devices have significantly proved their reliability and effectiveness in the field of medicine as a result of their comprehensive assistance in a variety of areas that are related to the monitoring of patients and treatment in a variety of different ways. Furthermore, they contribute to the medical community’s efforts to identify and prevent illnesses via the use of their services. The fact that the devices are powered by batteries, on the other hand, is a reliance that has a number of negative consequences. For instance, its depletion might result in hindrance during surgical procedures or leakage from the body. Implicit research has proposed the use of biocompatible harvesters that are capable of sustaining the device consumption by producing power. This methodology has been proposed as a means of reducing the size of the battery or, in some circumstances, completely eliminating its utilisation. In order to develop harvesting systems, a wide variety of biocompatible materials, including as piezoelectric and triboelectric materials, may be used. Ultrasonic transducers, electromagnet generators, and photovoltaic panels are just a few examples of the low-grade power sources that may be used to power implanted medical equipment via the utilisation of bioenvironmental energy harvesting. Ultrasonic transducers have been used in a variety of research projects as energy harvesters for the purpose of providing power to implanted medical devices. A piezoelectric oscillator was implanted under the goat’s skin in order to collect the vibrational energy that was created by an ultrasonic transducer that was located outside of the power that was seen to be produced by the gearbox from the model that was provided. In their study, Tower et al. presented a system that has the potential to be utilised for the purpose of biological assessment and monitoring. The energy of an ultrasonic beam that is applied to the surface is converted into a high-frequency current by this device.
