Zero-Battery Smart Bandage Transceiver

Disposable Biomedical Ambient IoT Patch with 6G Telemetry

Paper-thin, flexible printed electronic patch that monitors wound biomarkers and transmits status to a nearby 6G terminal without batteries.

Technical Explanation

Designed for clinical and home care, the zero-battery smart bandage integrates printed flexible zinc-carbon or biofuel micro-cells harvesting power from wound exudate chemistry or ambient cellular RF signals. Micro-sensors measure pH, temperature, and bacterial biomarkers, transmitting periodic telemetry via 6G Ambient IoT backscatter protocols to a nurse's tablet or smartphone, alerting doctors to infections before visible symptoms appear.

Key Functions

  • Monitors physiological wound healing markers continuously and passively
  • Fabricated on flexible, biocompatible substrate disposable after single use
  • Transmits data passively using 6G ambient backscatter RF reflection
  • Operates at zero cost without toxic lithium battery components
