Wireless power technology can also be used in portal
medical devices at hospitals and clinics.
Some examples where wireless power
systems could be implemented are: rolling equipment such as diagnostic and
monitoring instrumentation, computer carts, drug-delivery carts, gurneys;
surgical power tools, handheld diagnostic instruments, infusion pumps …
All these devices need electricity
or have a battery that need to be charged in a socket.
These tools and devices would be
designated to be hermetically sealed by eliminating the need of cables, plugs
or batteries. That way they could overcome many problems.
Such devices would be easier to
sterilize and less prone to failures. They could contribute to improve safety
at operating or patient care rooms as well as nurse’s stations and also make it
easier to adapt to the needs of constantly changing staff and patients.
Thus, highly resonant wireless power transfer has the ability to enable a wide array of medical devices by powering or recharging them safely, efficiently, and over distance. I personally think that companies should invest more money on research and trials in this wireless power application, it could totally change the medical industry!
