IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS POWER SUPPLY FOR LOWPOWER DEVICES OF THE INTERNET OF MEDICAL THINGS

Background. The paper aims at improving the autonomous power supply system for medical Internet of Things devices by introducing betavoltaic power sources. Materials and methods. The research method is based on the implementation of an experimental sample of a betavoltaic complex and testing its characteristics on a test bench. Results. The results of the work consist in the implementation of hardware and software components of the test bench (which is a debug board) designed to select the operating mode of betavoltaic assemblies included in the betavoltaic complex, testing it and formulating proposals for further use of the proposed approach for designing and hardware implementation of betavoltaic complexes as end devices providing pulse power supply for Internet of Medical Things devices. Conclusions. The conclusions are to substantiate the advantages of implementing the proposed approach, namely, using a betavoltaic complex as a power supply system for the Internet of Medical Things and further application of the obtained results in the healthcare system and medical engineering education.
