This article presents a novel wireless power mattress-based system architecture tailored to guarantee continuous energy for in-home environment healthcare wearables intended to be used in the context of patients who would benefit from long-term monitoring of specific physiological biomarkers. The design demonstrates that it is possible to transfer over 20 mW at a primary-secondary distance of 20.7 cm, whilst still keeping within all FCC/ICNIRP safety regulations, using the proposed simplified beamforming-controlled power transfer multi-input single-output system. Compared with other beamforming-controlled based works, the proposed design used non-coupling coil arrays, significantly reducing the algorithmic complexity. An on-chip wireless power charger system was also designed to provide high-efficiency power storage (89.3&#x0025; power conversion efficiency and 83.9&#x0025; power charge efficiency), guaranteeing wearables can continuously maintain their functionality. In contrast with conventional NiMh chargers, this work proposes a trimming function that makes it compatible with batteries of varying capacities. It also employs a four-stage charge loop to ensure safety and sustainability during the charging process. Overall, this work shows that by relying on wireless power transfer, it is, in principle, possible to create a safe wearable that could enable continuous monitoring of certain healthcare biomarkers with little or zero maintenance burden for the patients or carers.
