This system is directed to a batteryless, self-powered sensor comprising: a microprocessor; a first and second solar panel in electronic communications with the microprocessor; a transceiver in communication with the microprocessor; and a set of computer readable instructions included in the microprocessor adapted for creating motion data including a direction and a speed of movement of object within a first sensing area and a second sensing area, transmitted the motion data to a remote location if sufficient power is provided by the first solar panel to actuate the transceiver and a number of data points in the motion data exceeds a pre-determined number of minimal data points, associating a reduction in power delivered from the first solar panel to the microprocessor with movement and associating an increase in power delivered from the first solar panel to the microprocessor with movement.

Batteryless sensor for detecting occupancy and activity

A wearable master electronic device (Amulet) has a processor with memory, the processor coupled to a body-area network (BAN) radio and uplink radio. The device has firmware for BAN communications with wearable nodes to receive data, and in an embodiment, send configuration data. The device has firmware for using the uplink radio to download apps and configurations, and upload data to a server. An embodiment has accelerometers in Amulet and wearable node, and firmware for using accelerometer readings to determine if node and Amulet are worn by the same subject. Other embodiments use pulse sensors or microphones in the Amulet and node to both identify a subject and verify the Amulet and node are worn by the same subject. Another embodiment uses a bioimpedance sensor to identify the subject. The wearable node may be an insulin pump, chemotherapy pump, TENS unit, cardiac monitor, or other device.
