20130303869 | MOBILE ANALYTE MONITORING SYSTEM - A mobile analyte monitoring system may include an implantable sensor and a reader device with an optical sensor. The implantable sensor may be implanted into the dermis of an animal, and may exhibit a color change in response to the presence of a target analyte or reaction product thereof. The reader device may be configured to capture an image of the implanted sensor and to determine the concentration of the target analyte based at least in part on the image. One or more portions of the implantable sensor or components thereof may be configured to facilitate calibration of the sensor, correction of an optical signal obtained from the sensor by a reader device to accommodate variations in the surrounding tissues, and/or calculation of a representative value by a reader device. The reader device may be a personal electronic device such as a cell phone, PDA, or personal computer. | 11-14-2013 |
20130217983 | ANALYTE SENSOR - Embodiments provide analyte sensors, such as implantable analyte sensors, and methods of producing the same. An implantable sensor may include a base with a plurality of chambers. One or more sensor reagents may be retained within the chambers to form analysis regions. A membrane may be coupled to the chambers over the sensor reagents. The implantable sensor may be implanted into the dermis of a subject. One or more of the sensor reagents may exhibit a color change in response to the presence of a target analyte or reaction product thereof. The wavelengths of light reflected from the analysis regions may be detected and analyzed to determine a target analyte concentration. One or more portions of the sensor or components thereof may be configured to facilitate calibration of the sensor, correction of an optical signal obtained from the sensor by a reader device to accommodate variations in the surrounding tissues, and/or calculation of a representative value by a reader device. | 08-22-2013 |
20130172699 | ANALYTE SENSOR WITH EXTENDED RANGE OF DETECTION - Embodiments provide sensors, such as implantable sensors, and methods of producing such sensors. An implantable sensor may include a base, one or more chambers, and one or more sensor reagents. A membrane may be coupled to the chambers over the sensor reagents. The implantable sensor may be at least partially implanted into the dermis of an animal. One or more of the sensor reagents may emit light or exhibit a color change in response to the presence of a target analyte or reaction product thereof. The response may be detected and analyzed by the user or by a reader device to determine the target analyte concentration. | 07-04-2013 |
