From exoskeletons to neural implants, biomedical devices are no less than life-changing. Compact and constant power sources are necessary to keep these devices running efficiently. Edwar Romero's Powering Biomedical Devices reviews the background, current technologies, and possible future developments of these power sources, examining not only the types of biomedical power sources available (macro, mini, MEMS, and nano) but also what (powered prosthesis, insulin pumps, muscular and neural stimulators, etc.) and how (using batteries, telemetry, etc.) they power. By briefly examining t.;Front Cover; Powering Biomedical Devices; Copyright page; Contents; Preface; 1 Introduction; 1.1 Technology Trend; 1.2 Energy Harvesting; 1.3 Energy Limits; 2 Power Sources; 2.1 Actual Power Sources; 2.2 Energy Generation from the Human Body; 2.3 Power Limits; 3 Enabling Technologies; 3.1 Chemical Energy; 3.2 Thermal Energy; 3.3 Kinetic Energy; 4 Power Consumption and Applications; 5 Future Trends; 5.1 Challenges; 5.2 Future; References.
