Summary In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of various lines from medical devices in healthcare settings which has led to a rise in incidents and accidents. The electric wire lines (power and communication lines) make up a significant proportion of various lines in operating rooms. Among these, wireless communication technologies are starting to contribute to reducing the number of communication lines. However, for several reasons, the transition to wireless of power lines crawling across the floor has not yet been implemented. Therefore, we have successfully developed the first prototype of a wireless power supply system that can supply power in spots from the floor around the operating table, indicating potential for reduction of power lines.
