High energy density storage devices can extend the operational time of these devices, reducing the frequency of recharging or battery replacement. However, some medical devices may need high power output in a short period, such as a pacemaker during defibrillation.
Figure 1 illustrates the array of wearable energy storage and harvesting devices used in healthcare applications , such as brain Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors , cardiac patches , wristbands , and knee sensors .
Instead of relying on battery stored energy, harvesting energy from the human body and any external environmental sources surrounding the human body ensures prolonged life of the implantable devices and comfort of the patients.
For instance, many devices in the health field, such as implantable medical devices and continuous monitoring equipment, require long-term power supply. The need for reliable and sustained power sources in healthcare applications has driven significant research into improving energy density.
The review also addresses the key considerations for applying wearable energy devices in the healthcare field, such as high energy density, optimal power density, extended lifespan, and robust durability.
Therefore, comprehensively understanding and optimizing energy density, power density, cycle life, and mechanical properties like stretchability and flexibility are crucial for improving the overall performance and applicability of wearable energy storage devices.
