Batteries are increasingly important in Healthcare IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) and modern connectivity technology increasingly connect healthcare and medical devices. In the Healthcare IoT, battery-powered wireless medical devices are increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. These Healthcare IoT devices include fitness bands and smart watches that monitor pulse and heart rate, blood pressure monitors, pacemakers, pulse oximeters, glucose monitors, thermometers, ultrasound hearing aids, insulin pumps, and many other devices that are currently being developed.
These devices are all low power, battery-operated, mobile, lightweight, small, and wireless. The consequences of insufficient battery life can range from inconvenience and buying preference to life-threatening situations and possibly legal liability. Device designers must understand the power consumption patterns and battery life requirements of medical IoT devices.
