  • Publication number: 20240285236
    Abstract: An improved wearable biosensor device having emergent properties such as extended wear life, elimination or significant reduction of warm-up time, a user-friendly insertion process that ensures secure skin-locking immediately post-insertion, enhanced durability of microneedles against breakage, superior user experience and comfort during wear, and improved scalable manufacturability. Together, these innovations not only elevate the sensor's overall performance but also its accuracy, functionality, and reliability. This novel design and functionality guarantees that the wearable biosensor device is more efficient, provides a better experience for users and establishes a new benchmark in the industry.

  • Publication number: 20240172973
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable device with improvements to microneedles in a microneedle array including an off-center tip, a deflection guide indention, amorphous cavities which help the microneedles to bend during insertion into the skin. As the microneedles bend back after insertion, a number of sills extending from the microneedles help to hold the microneedles in place. Less damage is done to the microneedles and the surrounding tissue, thus reducing inflammation.

  • Publication number: 20230003725
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and methods are described that relate to microneedle-assisted aptamer-based electrochemical sensing for label-free, continuous real-time monitoring of biomarkers in a biofluid. One example device for electrochemical monitoring of one or more analytes in a biofluid includes a substrate and at least two microneedles coupled to the substrate. Each microneedle in the at least two microneedles includes a protruded needle structure and an electrode probe structure. The electrode probe structure of a first microneedle in the at least two microneedles includes an aptamer sequence which is specific for a first analyte and the electrode probe structure of the first microneedle is operable as a working electrode for detection of the first analyte using a first electrochemical detection technique.
