  • Patent number: 11701037
    Abstract: A method for detecting in-vivo properties of a biosensor. In the inventive method, a sensitivity-to-admittance relation is provided and a raw current in the biosensor is measured. An in-vivo current response is also measured at first and second operating points. A time constant ? is determined by the electrical capacitance C of the working electrode and the electrical resistance RM of the membrane by ?=RM·C. The first and second operating points are selected below and above ?, respectively. An analyte value in a sample of a body fluid is determined by using the raw current and compensating sensitivity drift in the biosensor, which in turn is compensated by using the measured value for the raw current and a corrected value for the sensitivity. The failsafe operation of the biosensor is monitored by using the in-vivo current response measured at the first and second operating points.

  • Patent number: 11395608
    Abstract: A medical sensor system comprising a sensor implantable under the skin of a user and an on-body module attachable to the skin in the region of the implantable sensor, wherein the on-body module has a self-adhering flexible electronics patch including a first transmitter which is operable to exchange data with the implantable sensor via a short-range wireless connection.

  • Publication number: 20200029902
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a body-wearable medical device, such as an analyte monitoring system or a patch-mounted pump. The device has a self-adhering flexible electronics patch which adheres to the skin of a user and is deformable to follow the contour of the skin. In order to provide a flexible non-body configuration, the electronics patch includes flexible printed circuitry which is applied directly on a foil substrate. A user interface is configured for a user to control the device.
