WHAT IS WIRELESS CHARGING FOR MEDICAL DEVICES?
Medical devices ranging from surgical tools to portable carts found in hospitals today, along with personal medical devices like implantable devices and wearables, all struggle with challenges related to power and charging.
Today’s portable medical devices such as surgical carts, handheld medical devices, glucose meters, wearables, and more, are socket-dependant and tethered to the wall by cumbersome cables that can become a potential hazard and are hard to keep sterile. In contrast, smaller medical devices such as implants and neuromodulators struggle with short battery life challenges, which often require surgical procedures to replace or require using cables that are prone to contamination and infection.
