Proof of concept for energy harvesting using piezoelectric microstructures for intelligent implants using eye-motion classified with the Integrated Eyetracker

摘要：

　　In medicine early diagnostics are important for the healing process of the patient.Intelligent implants allow a better determination of vital parameters and can offer an optimal medical care during the therapy.But for such devices the power supply is a challenge.The need of space for batteries and other solutions where energy is transmitted wirelessly is too big for miniaturized applications in the eye.A practical alternative for this could be energy harvesting by using eye movement.For dimensioning the parameters of the harvester,the characteristics of eye movement were investigated.These datasets give a first overview of the mechanical potential to harvest energy for an intelligent implant.
