Research Highlights
A WBSS TC Member Ivan Lee and his team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have recently introduced a novel concept – namely Intra-Body Power Transfer (IBPT) – to enable batteryless on-body sensors by transferring the necessary operation power via the human body from a separate, battery-powered on-body unit.
