  • Publication number: 20240074682
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring a concentration of a target analyte in a biological fluid in vivo are provided herein. In some examples, a device includes an indwelling sensor and sensor electronics. The sensor may include a substrate; a first electrode disposed on the substrate; an ionophore disposed on the substrate to selectively transport the target ion to or within the first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on the substrate. The sensor electronics is configured to generate a signal corresponding to an electromotive force which is at least partially based on a potential difference that is generated between the first electrode and the second electrode responsive to the ionophore transporting the target ion to the first electrode.

  • Publication number: 20230301553
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a continuous analyte monitoring system for measuring a concentration of a first analyte and concentration of a second analyte in a host. One such system utilizes a working electrode and a reference electrode to measure glucose concentration and oxygen concentration in bodily fluid of a host. The system includes a sensor control circuit that applies a first bias condition to the sensor to measure a first signal generated by the sensor indicative of a concentration of the first analyte. The sensor control circuit also applies a second bias condition to the sensor to measure a second signal generated by the sensor indicative of a concentration of a second analyte at the host.

  • Publication number: 20230263439
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an analyte sensor, a memory, and a processor. The processor monitors, using the analyte sensor, an analyte of a patient during a time period to obtain measured analyte data for the analyte and monitors other measured sensor data indicative of a physiological state of the patient during the time period. The processor also determines, based on the physiological state of the patient during the time period, expected analyte data for the analyte and determines a correction factor based on the expected analyte data and the measured analyte data. The correction factor is indicative of an error in calibration of the analyte sensor. The processor also determines whether recalibration of the analyte sensor is possible. If recalibration is possible, the processor recalibrates the analyte sensor based on the correction factor, and if recalibration is not possible, the processor recommends, to the patient, to replace the analyte sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230064744
    Abstract: An augmented analyte monitoring system is described. The augmented analyte monitoring system includes a wearable analyte monitoring device that includes a transmitter and an analyte sensor to obtain analyte data of a user, and an analyte augmentation wearable that includes one or more sensors (e.g., physical and/or biochemical sensors) to obtain additional physiological data for augmenting the analyte data of the user. The analyte augmentation wearable is communicably coupled to the wearable analyte monitoring device. The augmented analyte monitoring system further includes a sensor hub implemented at a computing device to obtain a data packet containing both the analyte data and the additional physiological data from at least one of the wearable analyte monitoring device or the analyte augmentation wearable, and augment the analyte data by storing the analyte data in association with the additional physiological data.

  • Publication number: 20220127720
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a conductive diamond layer on a surface of a carbon fibre substrate that is used as a component of an electrode for neural stimulation and/or electrochemical sensing. The method comprises functionalising at least a portion of the surface with a functionalising agent to facilitate coating the surface with the conductive diamond layer. The method also comprises providing a diamond precursor and depositing the diamond precursor over the functionalising agent to form the conductive diamond layer. The disclosure also relates to an electrode that is used as a component of an electrode for neural stimulation and/or electrochemical sensing.
