Abstract :
Three key requirements for wearable healthcare and biomedicai devices are the mechanical flexibility, the wireless interface, and the energy autonomy, because unobtrusive and maintenance-free devices are needed for the constant monitoring of vital human health data. Previously reported flexible healthcare and biomedicai devices, however, requires wired connection [1,2] or wireless power transmission [3,4]. A flexible energy autonomous healthcare device with a wireless interface, a fever alarm armband (FAA) integrating fully flexible solar cells, a piezoelectric speaker, a temperature detector, and 12V organic complementary FET (CFET) circuits is presented here. The system is also noteworthy for sound generation, with organic circuits driving the speaker.
