Battery Life Optimization for Wireless Medical Devices

Application Notes

Battery-powered wireless medical devices have become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. This can be seen in the explosion of healthcare or medical devices with built-in capability to connect to the internet. Examples of these emerging classes of medical devices include fitness band or smart watch (includes pulse monitor and heartbeat monitor capabilities), blood pressure monitor, pacemaker, pulse oximeter, glucose monitor, thermometer, and hearing aids.

 

Designers and manufacturers face unique challenges when testing these medical devices as these devices require low-power, small form factor, mobile, lightweight, and support wireless connection with low-power consumption. The biggest challenge for wireless medical devices is the life of the small, on-board batteries. Medical devices such as hearing aid and pacemaker must work for long periods of time without any failure. Failing in these medical devices may cause mild to severe consequences.
