Connected health is expected to introduce an improvement in providing healthcare and doctor-patient communication while at the same time reducing cost. Connected health would introduce an even more significant gap between healthcare quality for urban areas with physical proximity and better communication to providers and the portion of rural areas with numerous connectivity issues. We identify these challenges using user scenarios and propose LoRa based architecture for addressing these challenges. We focus on the energy management of battery-powered, affordable IoT devices for long-term operation, providing important information about the care receivers’ well-being. Using an external ultra-low-power timer, we extended the battery life in the order of tens of times, compared to relying on low power modes of the microcontroller.

This paper presents an ultra-low-power boost converter for self-powered IoT applications to self-start and power-up IoT devices from scratch without any requirement of an external start-up. The proposed converter and its clock generator operate in sub-threshold utilizing bulk-driven technique for low-power operation. The bulk-driven technique improves charge transfer switches for effective switching using auxiliary transistors. This approach enables a MOSFET to operate on supplies lower than its threshold voltage with a significant reduction in the reverse charge transfer and switching loss while increasing the voltage conversion efficiency and output voltage. To validate the performance of the proposed architecture, the post-layout simulation is carried out in standard CMOS 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m technology. Under low-voltage supply of 0.4[Formula: see text]V, the simulated transient output voltage takes 110[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]s to reach 1.92[Formula: see text]V with 0.15[Formula: see text] output voltage ripple, while consuming the power of 772[Formula: see text]nW.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting is a promising technology that increases the autonomy of low power IoT devices in scenarios that are subjected to mechanical vibrations. This work shows the potential of this technology to power IoT devices with the energy that is harvested from vibrations occurred during air and road transportation. Adjusting the natural resonance frequency of the piezoelectric generator (PEG) to the mechanical acceleration frequency that has the highest power spectral density is key to increase the harvested energy. Therefore, in this work a commercial PEG is tuned to the best spectrogram frequency of a real vibration signal following a two-phase tuning process. The harvested power generated by the PEG has been validated in real scenarios, providing 2.4 μ Wh during flight (take-off, cruise flight, and landing), 11.3 μ Wh during truck transportation in urban areas, and 4.8 μ Wh during intercity transportation. The PEG has been embedded in an ultra-low power IoT device to validate how much this harvested energy can increase the autonomy in a real scenario that is subjected to similar vibrations. An NFC temperature data logger is developed for perishable products that are transported by air and road transports. The energy harvested by the PEG tuned with the methodology proposed in this work has increased the autonomy of the data logger 16.7% during a real use case of 30 h, which validates the potential of the piezoelectric energy harvesting technology to increase the autonomy of future low power IoT devices used in scenarios with aperiodic vibrations.
