  • Publication number: 20120319864
    Abstract: In a bodily fluid component measurement system, the convenience for a subject is improved by achieving reductions in size and weight of a device which is always attached at the position where a sensor is indwelled. A bodily fluid component measurement system includes a sensor unit which is indwelled in the skin of a subject to measure a predetermined bodily fluid component, and a transmission unit which is detachably attached to the subject, and transmits, to a display unit, a measurement signal obtained by the sensor unit. The sensor unit is activated upon receiving power supplied by an electromagnetic wave generated by the transmission unit to measure the bodily fluid component and transmit the measurement signal to the transmission unit.
