Description

To meet the demands of the A18-061 SBIR solicitation ("Medical Sensors Powered by Human Generated Energy"), MaXentric proposes an energy harvesting system that generates power directly from the users' body. This harvesting system, when integrated with a sensor patch, results in a system with greatly extended continuous use time allowing for application in "prolonged field care" scenarios. The entire design targets a disposable wireless sensor patch that measures blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, ECG, SPO2, skin temperature, etc. Data is transmitted to a nearby end user device (smartphone). In Phase I work, MaXentric will develop a concept design and verify it using analytical calculations, simulations, and experimental data. During Phase II work, MaXentric will integrate the harvesting system with a disposable wireless adhesive medical sensor resulting in a prototype that can be tested in an operationally relevant environment.
