Abstract

Systems and methods for a self-powered wireless wearable sensor system include a freestanding triboelectric nanogenerator (FTENG), used as a power source for a wearable sensor. The FTENG includes stator panels and corresponding slider panels with a grating pattern. Movement, such as cardiovascular exercise causes the slider panel(s) to slide across the stator panel(s) inducing a charge and powering a wearable device sufficiently to support data transmission and continuous monitoring. An integrated self-powered wireless wearable sensor system includes a microfluidic sweat sensor patch which may be connected to lower-power wireless sensor circuitry for regulating power efficiently and is powered by the FTENG.
