Abstract
In some aspects, an apparatus for a biosensor includes a sensor wire and a rigid member. The rigid member may be coupled to the sensor wire and include a contact surface. The contact surface may be sized to enable a suction head of a robotic placement device to create a vacuum seal on the contact surface for lifting the sensor wire and rigid member.
Claims8
A wearable monitoring device, comprising:
- a printed circuit board disposed in a housing, the housing having a planar surface for positioning the wearable monitoring device on a patient's skin;
- a sensor including one or more electrodes electrically coupled, at a connection point on the printed circuit board, to circuitry disposed on the printed circuit board, the sensor having a distal end that is insertable into the patient's skin;
- and
- a rigid member coupled to the printed circuit board and coupled to the sensor, the rigid member being positioned on the printed circuit board such that the connection point is between a section of the printed circuit board and a coupling surface of the rigid member, wherein the coupling surface comprises non-conductive adhesive for coupling the rigid member to the printed circuit board.
