Abstract: An implantable glucose sensor includes: a housing, two injecting electrodes for injecting current into the tissue, two sensing electrodes for measuring impedance in the tissue, a coil within the housing for powering the sensor via a power source, a circuit board within the housing, the circuit board being electrically connected to the two sensing electrodes and the two injecting electrodes and the coil, and a communication unit for communicating data. The communication unit is connected to the circuit board. The two sensing electrodes and the two injecting electrodes are arranged on an outer surface of a first part of the housing. The outer surface of first part is of a convex shape. The two sensing electrodes and the two injecting electrodes are embedded in the convex shape so that they are flush with the outer surface of the convex shape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable sensor configured to be implanted within the body of the subject and being configured to measure impedance within a body tissue of the subject resulting from an electrical current flowing through the body tissue, wherein the body tissue is sub-dermal or subcutaneous tissue of the subject. One pair of injection electrodes is configured for injection of electrical current into the body tissue and one pair of sensing electrodes is configured to detect the resulting voltage. A detector is operatively connected to the sensing electrodes and is configured to receive the voltage detected by the sensing electrodes, wherein the detector is configured to measure the impedance of the body tissue based on the voltage detected by the pair of sensing electrodes.
