Due to the increasing growth of portable electronics, it is imperative to generate tiny, lightweight power supply appliances with outstanding performance and sustainable energy conversion ability. In order to deal with the energy deficiency of electronic devices, self-powered systems based nanogenerators are committed to capturing ambient energy for electronic device consumption. Nanogenerator assemblies provide a range of benefits, including adjustable shape, flexibility, affordability, and transportability. As such, they represent a novel and intriguing area for biomedical investigation. In living organisms, bioelectrical mechanisms play an integral part in regulating the functions of cells and tissues. An essential component of electroactive assemblies includes self-powered nanogenerators. In conjunction with nanogenerators, biomedicine has contributed to the invention of medical devices based on self-powered system. Currently, one of the most significant energy-based technologies to guarantee the long-term functioning of implanted biomedical devices is the accumulation of biomechanical energy in vivo. This review covers the development of nanogenerators for biomedical applications. Piezoelectric and triboelectric materials, which could foster the evolution of potential applications in the field of bone regeneration and tissue engineering, are the primary focus of this review. These materials are electrically self-sustaining generators that encourage tissue repair involving osteogenic proliferation, differentiation, and microbial sterilization. Eventually, the discussion highlights the potential future scope and challenges related to the nanogenerators.Keywords: nanogenerator, piezoelectric, triboelectric, tissue engineering
