Although wearable electronic devices and biosensors are becoming common tools for health monitoring, finding convenient power sources for them has been challenging.
Fortunately, in a recent study, scientists from Tokyo University of Science have developed a wearable biofuel cell that generates electric power from the lactic acid in the wearer’s sweat. With its innovative design, the biofuel cell could generate enough energy to drive a low-power Bluetooth transmitter and commercial activity meter for a short time, opening doors to novel ways of powering the future of health monitoring.
