The wearable healthcare market has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, reaching $71.91 billion in 2023 and over $186 billion globally by 2030. In the near future, there could be hundreds of wearable devices that “invisibility” weave themselves into the fabrics of everyday wearables (e.g., clothes, hats, eyeglasses, earphones, shoes, etc.), providing us with all information about our health and wellbeing. To enable this massive number of wearable devices, frequent charging of their batteries is not practical or possible. On the other hand, the human body and the surrounding environment contain a vast amount of energy that has the potential to be harvested. In particular, kinetic energy from walking could theoretically generate more than 67W. In this project, we will explore and take the initial steps towards realising this vision. The student will work alongside and be mentored by a PhD student in our Physical Sensing Lab (https://www.agilecps.org/facilities), who is currently working on this research topic. We will have the following aims: (1) Explore the techniques to harvest kinetic energy (e.g., by using piezoelectricity, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRgmFo7bZJ4), (2) Develop a prototype of energy-generating shoes, and (3) Implement an intelligent algorithm to monitor our health (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, mental health, etc.) that can work in a low-power and intermittent power domain. The necessary hardware will be provided using our lab's funding.
