principle, energy supply, heat, resistance.Abstract
This paper mainly focuses on two perspectives. The first part is about the principle of some popular optical biosensors (oximeter and heart rate sensor). Next part is about the possible solution for wearable devices’ energy supply. In today's era, wearable devices already have many very perfect functions, such as a series of health detection such as heart rate detection. However, due to the limited size, the power supply of wearable devices has been a problem. The reasons why I come up with this device is that wearable devices are attached to our body, like smart watches. Every time when I start walking or doing the sports, I feel like my body is burning. This may be exaggerated, but this feeling is true. The human body is a wonderful structure that has a microelectronic system within it. So far, there are several devices that can extract excess energy from the body and convert it into thermoelectricity.
