Optimizing Power Consumption for STM32-based Wearable Health Monitor?

I am currently working on the development of a wearable health monitor based on the STM32 microcontroller. The device is intended for continuous monitoring of vital signs, such as heart rate and body temperature, and it is battery-powered.

I am facing a significant challenge in optimizing power consumption to ensure extended battery life without compromising the real-time monitoring capabilities. This is crucial, as users rely on the device for accurate and uninterrupted health data.

I'm seeking insights and strategies to efficiently manage power consumption in this real-time STM32 application. Specifically, I would like to know how to:

Minimize power consumption during periods of inactivity while ensuring the device remains responsive to vital sign changes.

Implement low-power modes or strategies that allow the microcontroller to enter sleep or standby states and wake up promptly to collect and transmit data when needed.

Utilize STM32's hardware features and HAL functions to achieve power-efficient sensor and communication module control.

Balance the need for real-time monitoring with power-saving measures, such as sensor sampling rates and communication intervals.

If you have experience with STM32-based wearable health devices or expertise in power optimization for real-time applications, I would greatly appreciate your insights and suggestions. Your guidance will be instrumental in enhancing the usability and practicality of this healthcare solution.
