The last year was an exciting time for the semiconductor industry with an increased demand for new wearable products, but also new challenges in the efficient management of energy consumption.
Battery size, durability and low threshold charging are key issues as each new generation of wearable devices include accelerometers, gyroscopes, heart rate sensors, microphones, speakers, barometric altimeters, ambient light sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and optional LTE and new IoT-inspired features.
The aim of this theme issue is to explore emerging issues in power management for wearables, based on advances in computational engineering, information science and ultra-low power design.
