Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable and reliable power sources in portable and implantable medical devices has led to growing interest in photovoltaic (PV) energy harvesting. Traditional power sources, such as batteries, are limited by finite energy capacity and frequent replacement or recharging needs, particularly in implantable devices where surgical intervention is required for battery replacement. Photovoltaic energy harvesting, which converts light into electrical energy, offers a promising alternative, especially in environments with consistent light exposure. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the advancements in PV technologies for powering medical devices. It covers various types of PV materials, design innovations, and the integration of energy storage systems. Additionally, the review highlights the application of PV systems in both external and implantable medical devices, while addressing critical challenges such as ensuring biocompatibility, optimizing performance in low-light conditions, and miniaturizing PV systems for implantation. The potential of PV energy harvesting to improve device longevity and reduce the need for invasive procedures is emphasized. This review concludes by outlining the current challenges and future directions needed to achieve widespread clinical adoption, aiming to contribute to the development of sustainable power solutions in healthcare.

Abstract

Power electronics plays a crucial role in modern medical applications by providing efficient power management, conversion, and regulation across a wide range of devices. In high-power systems, such as medical imaging equipment, power electronics ensure precise control, stable operation, and optimal performance, which are essential for accurate diagnostic imaging. On the other hand, in low-power devices such as wearable health monitors and implantable medical devices, power electronics focus on enhancing energy efficiency and miniaturization. This is vital for extending battery life, reducing the need for frequent recharging or replacement, and improving patient comfort and mobility. This review examines the role of power electronics in diverse medical applications, highlighting its importance in enabling stable performance in critical life-support systems, therapeutic devices, and portable health monitors. Key technologies and power management integrated circuits are explored for their contribution to improving the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of medical devices. The review also addresses significant challenges, including miniaturization, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Future trends such as the development of advanced semiconductor materials, innovations in energy harvesting techniques, and wireless power transfer technologies are also discussed. These advancements are expected to revolutionize the field, driving the next generation of medical devices and shaping the future of healthcare technology.

Abstract

Standard risk assessment approaches are sometimes time-consuming and subjective. In order to overcome these challenges an innovative method will be presented in this article by mixing sentiment analysis and machine learning (ML). The suggested technique improves the effectiveness, precision, and scope of risk insights when it comes to the detection of feelings in logs via the use of automated data collection. The research examines several different ML classifiers and makes use of a deep learning model that has been pre-trained to evaluate risks in logs that are multi-linguistic. This proves the adaptability and scalability of our technique when used in a multilanguage setting. This combination of sentiment analysis and ML are a significant advancement in comparison to traditional approaches since it enables real-time processing and delivers important insights into the management of organizational risks.

Abstract

Because of the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), home security has progressed from a basic security system to an active architecture that is responsive and adaptive to real world situations. Due to the rapid adoption of AI in smart systems, there is increasing suspicion surrounding privacy issues and ethical ambiguity, as well as gaps when it comes to regulating these technologies. We provide an overview of AI in smart home security applications and examine the area of security, access control, intrusion detection, human action recognition, and research on intelligent automation. We summarize the last decade of evolution, with some summaries of previous on computer vision, authentication systems, and finding unusual patterns recently. Our key findings include the development of approaches to improve real time security monitoring, dramatic reductions in false alarms, and customization of home access using AI. Improvements in security have also increased risk with respect to ethical ambiguity as well as technical issues in certain cases. In this paper, we offers pathways for improved AI system design, proposed formal data protection regulations, and examples of simplifying complex system for user comprehension, which also establishes the groundwork for future efforts. Home security should balance new opportunities with ethical considerations.
