A research team at Seoul National University, led by Professor Jerald Yoo, has developed a groundbreaking battery-free wearable ECG sensor called "SkinECG." This innovative technology allows continuous monitoring of physiological signals by utilizing a unique body-coupled wireless power transfer system that harvests energy directly from the body, overcoming previous limitations related to battery dependency and optimal sensor placement. The "Orthogonal Energy Harvesting Network" enables efficient power transfer to chest-mounted ECG sensors, improving wearability and scalability for future healthcare devices. Published in Science Advances, this research represents a significant advancement in wearable health technology, with potential applications extending to various physiological monitoring systems beyond cardiac health.
