JAKARTA – Smartwatches as one of the wearable devices are increasingly in demand. However, the small battery capacity forces users to charge the smartwatch repeatedly.

Recent research conducted by a group of researchers from the National University of Singapore has succeeded in making a new breakthrough in charging wearable devices. Efficiently the smartwatch can be charged by using the body as a charging intermediary.

They have developed technology that allows the charging of wearable devices such as smartwatches through the body. The power is sent from other devices such as cell phones. Smartphones placed in the user's shirt pocket or pants will use the body as a transmission medium to transmit power wirelessly to the user's smartwatch.

The research team said the findings could reduce the complexity of charging a number of wearables. Of course, this breakthrough can take power from electronic devices in the office that are not in use. They also developed a system of transmitting and receiving power by utilizing the body as a medium for transmitting energy to electronic devices.

Later, the chip will be installed in the transmitter and receiver to expand the range of energy delivery throughout the body. users can place the transmitter on any of the power sources such as cell phones or smartwatches. While the power receiver can be placed anywhere on the body.

This method utilizes energy from the source to deliver power to a number of wearables. This is what is known as power transmission by using the body as a medium, as compiled from Slashgear.
