Everyday an adult body releases an average energy of 3 kWh.

That is sufficient energy to run an LCD-TV for 30h.

It is our vision to use this by-product of our bodies and bring its benefits to market. Every single device we know and use, depends on external sources of energy supply. Extended battery life or energy autonomy is always a convenience – and sometimes a lifesaver.
At Mithras, we have developed a revolutionary solution to increase the autonomy of battery-powered devices. Our technology will be able to introduce disruptive products in the market by meeting the local demand of energy for portable and wearable devices, both in health applications, health monitoring or treatment dispensers and in work and leisure applications. Not only will this technology increase the users convenience by achieving the fit-and-forget goal or provide continuous energy-supply for medical wearables without any interruption, moreover we aim to achieve this by using a completely clean source of energy.
