Many different elements of patient monitoring and treatment can be supported by implantable devices, which have proven to be extremely reliable and efficient in the medical profession. Medical professionals can use the data they collect to better diagnose and treat patients as a result. The devices’ power sources, on the other hand, are battery-based, which introduces a slew of issues. As part of this review, we explore the use of harvesters in implanted devices and evaluate various materials and procedures and look at how new and improved circuits can enable the harvesters to sustain medical devices.
