INVIZA® HEALTH generates power from piezoelectric, mechanical energy harvesting to enable its health and fitness sensor suite. In addition, by using multiple sensor's output data via software, i.e. "sensor fusion" INVIZA has learned to lower power overall sensor and electronics power consumption while simultaneously increasing health and fitness measured parameter's accuracy. This leads to the insole tracker's battery staying 100% full while the user obtains the most accurate data.
Lowering Production Cost of "Big MEMS (and Sensors)" Chip Technologies using ...INVIZA® HEALTH
Since the 1980’s microelectromechanical systems (“MEMS”) based devices have been manufactured primarily on round silicon (“Si”) substrates. This has been accomplished by primarily riding the “coattails” of the semiconductor (“SEMI”) integrated circuit chip industry, where Si substrate diameters have grown from less than 50 mm to 300 mm. As new larger diameter fabrication equipment was needed the previous generation tools (refurbished) were adopted by the MEMS industry at much lower price points.
Today, the SEMI industry has stalled at 300 mm, likewise the MEMS industry is mired at 200 mm diameter. The issue is that many MEMS chip dimensions can be large, greater than 10 x 10 mm^2 in area and can have expensive wafer-level packaging (“WLP”) utilized to protect its moving parts from inexpensive plastic molded packaging. When considering the $1 per mm^2 ‘rule of thumb’ for unyielded chip production cost, these “Big MEMS” chips are very difficult to fabricate cost effectively for their accompanying product market adoption.
Meanwhile over the last two decades of flat panel display (FPD) technology requirements have continued to increase in complexity and manufacturing capabilities. This includes increasing FPD resolution from today’s 4K to 8K and glass substrate size up to 3.1 x 3.1 m^2, a.k.a. ‘Generation 10 (Gen 10 or G10)’ glass. To achieve these challenging levels many manufacturing obstacles have had to be overcome, such as magnetron sputtering over large areas, including deposition thickness uniformity and optical property uniformity, the reduction of yield detractors, such as particles generated due to plasma arcing, and other process challenges.
What if the MEMS/sensor industry wasn’t restricted in substrate size, such as by utilizing G8 (2.1 x 2.4 m^2) or older (smaller area) fabrication equipment? Then, the chip cost could dramatically decrease.

Linda Drabik - Energy harvesting for IoTWithTheBest
As sensors and actuators are deployed in increasing numbers across greater distances, autonomous devices will become more ubiquitous. For systems that require longer life than a primary battery can deliver, Energy Harvesting offers a promising solution.
Energy Harvesting (EH) is the process by which ambient energy is captured from one or more energy sources and stored for later use. It enables autonomous sensors or switches to perpetually run with little to no maintenance, eliminating the need for connection to an electric grid and overcoming limitations of a battery-only power source with limited energy storage.
While the cost of buying and disposing batteries is a significant consideration, it’s the operational drain of maintenance that makes Energy Harvesting a particularly attractive solution for IoT.
In this presentation:
- Energy Harvesting solutions, including those that convert sources such as light, vibration, and heat into electricity (solar cells, piezoelectric devices, and thermoelectric generators).
- Key considerations for an Energy Harvesting terminal, including optimal capacitor size.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how energy harvesters are becoming more economically feasible for the Internet of Things (IoT). Small amounts of energy can be harvested from vibrations, temperature differences, and radio frequencies using various types of electronic devices such as piezoelectric, MEMS, thermo-electric power generators, and other devices. As improvements in them occur and as the energy requirements of accelerometers, pressure sensors, gas detectors, bio-sensors, and readout circuits fall from microwatts to hundreds of nano-watts, energy harvesters become cheaper and better than are batteries. Improvements in energy harvesting are occurring in the form of higher power per area or higher power per temperature difference and improvements of about five times are expected to occur in the next 5 to 10 years. The market for energy harvesters is expected to reach $2.5 Billion by 2024. In addition to their impact on buildings and the other usual applications for IoT, they will also impact on agriculture, aircraft, and medical implants.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

What is sensor fusion and why is it important?
Sensor fusion is combining 2 or more sensor’s data to obtain a
better result through software algorithms

Second example – SmartCalories™
• Top 7 smart watches on market are 27-93% inaccurate (Stanford University)
Uses only pulse-ox / heart rate to calculate burned calories
9
• INVIZA HEALTH is < 5% inaccurate (lower body burned calories only):
Pulse-ox / heart rate to calculate background burned calories (living calories)
plus
Accelerometer A / motion in X, Y and Z to calculate mechanical power
Pmechanical = force Fmechanical x speed s = (mass M x AX,Y, or Z) x (AX,Y, or Z x time t)
Then, convert from Pmechanical to Phuman using known conversion factor to calories

CEO/CTO wore the SmartHealth PU-insoles
for 1-week. I could not feel anything with
insole, including the 5-mm thick battery in
the arch area. Both insoles felt the same.

Semi rigid orthotic arch support foot cushion alignment shock absorber insole
3D CAD insole
Insole designed for
walking and comfort
Materials
1. Fabric w/ anti-bacterial agent
2. Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)
3. Polypropylene (PP)
4. Polyurethane (PU)
Using EVA as the footbed in an insole has now become common practice due to the
supportive and comforting nature of the material. It is a foam-based material, lending
itself naturally to supportive properties of an insole. EVA insoles are ideal as a shock-
absorber, protecting the foot from impact with the ground and helping to protect the
joints and ligaments in the foot. This rubber-like plastic has a high heat and cold
resistance on top of being particularly durable.

Recommended sensor priority and sampling rates
1. 6-axis accelerometer/gyroscope step count and
motion-mass-based burned calorie calculations
– every 3-seconds
2. IR temperature sensor body temperature
– 2X per day morning and evening, and on demand
3. pulse-ox (red/IR LED) blood oxygen saturation
– 1X per day, and on demand
4. pulse-ox (green LED) heart rate background “living” burned calorie calculations
– every 6-minutes
5. piezo-force sensors weight trends overall health, e.g., rapidly increasing weight
could indicate edema or pulmonary edema, which the latter is an early indicator of
congestive heart failure (CHF)
– every 1-hour (patent-pending design)

Summary
Energy generated from harvesting must be greater than what is
consumed
– Choose low power sensors wisely
– Choose low BLE transmission and
sensor sampling rates and with
reasonable duty-cycles
– Choose AlN over PZT for piezoelectric mechanical energy harvesting
to produce significantly greater energy per step
Use sensor fusion to reduce power consumption and obtain highly
accurate results
