  • Patent number: 11806134
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a sensor assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system is provided that includes (1) a sensor carrier having a sensor unit receiving area and an electronics receiving area, the electronics receiving area including a substrate; (2) a sensor unit having a sterilized region, the sterilized region including at least a portion of a sensor and an introducer; and (3) electronics for the continuous glucose monitoring system. The sensor unit is positioned within the sensor unit receiving area of the sensor carrier and the electronics are positioned on the substrate within the electronics receiving area of the sensor carrier so as to form a sensor assembly having the sensor electrically connected to the substrate of the electronics receiving area while maintaining sterilization of the sterilized region of the sensor unit. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 11298470
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and apparatus for a medication delivery device. The device includes a dose selector for selecting an amount of medication to deliver; a first capacitive sensor adjacent the dose selector and operative to detect linear displacement of the dose selector during medication delivery; a screw coupled to the dose selector; a second capacitive sensor adjacent the screw and operative to detect linear displacement of the screw during medication delivery; and a processor coupled to the first and second capacitive sensors and operative to determine an amount of medication actually delivered by the medication delivery device. Numerous other aspects are provided.
