- •
A complete system optimization for wearable thermal harvesting from body heat to the application is proposed.
- •
State-of-the-art thermal harvesters and DC-DC converters are compared and classified.
- •
Extensive simulation and experiments are carried out to characterize the harvesting performance.
- •
A case study demonstrates the feasibility to supply a multi-sensor wearables only from body heat.
