Abstract
The mouth offers valuable insights into the condition of the human body. Yet, deploying intraoral sensors to measure oral temperature or jaw movements poses challenges in safety and acceptability. Consequently, real-world data for intraoral research is scarce. To address this gap, we leverage the widespread use of dental retainers and enhance them with Densor: an electronic sensing platform requiring only a standard smartphone for charging and data retrieval using a Near Field Communication interface. Its low power architecture enables prolonged sensing on a single charge, making it suitable for sleep studies. It can provide practitioners with feedback on treatment compliance, and is even able to detect if the user is speaking or drinking water. Densor presents an intraoral, actively powered, battery-free platform featuring multi-modal sensors and an extended lifespan.

Leakage-Aware Lifetime Estimation of Battery-Free Sensor Nodes Powered by Supercapacitors
SenSys '22: Proceedings of the 20th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor SystemsBattery-free sensor nodes rely solely on energy harvested from the environment and thus employ supercapacitors as energy storage to allow perpetual operation in absence of ambient energy. To guarantee that the sensor nodes can survive in periods where no ...
Battery-free Wireless Identification and Sensing
Dense, long-term, wide-area deployments of tiny wireless sensors can potentially enable many novel and useful monitoring-based applications. A fundamental challenge in realizing this potential is to supply each sensor with enough power for its sensing ...
Battery-free Visible Light Sensing
VLCS '17: Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Visible Light Communication SystemsWe present the design of the first Visible Light Sensing (VLS) system that consumes only tens of μWs of power to sense and communicate. Unlike most existing VLS systems, we require no modification to the existing light infrastructure since we use ...
