Abstract
Diabetes management requires continuous monitoring and therapy, traditionally reliant on battery-powered devices. However, the need for frequent battery replacements poses challenges in sustainability, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Energy harvesting devices offer a promising solution by harnessing ambient energy sources
to power diabetes management devices. This article explores the emerging field of energy harvesting for selfsustainable diabetes management, highlighting various energy harvesting technologies, their applications, and future directions. Photovoltaic cells, thermoelectric generators, piezoelectric materials, and radiofrequency energy
harvesting are among the technologies enabling continuous monitoring and therapy without battery replacements. Challenges include efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, which ongoing research aims to address. Integration of energy harvesting devices into existing diabetes management systems has the potential to revolutionize care, particularly in resource-limited settings. By providing sustainable and efficient solutions, energy harvesting devices pave the way for improved outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
