Abstract
Providing a method for monitoring an analyte extracted from a patient and delivering a permeant composition to the patient. The method includes the steps of a) contacting a poration device to a tissue membrane of the patient, the poration device including at least one porator array; b) actuating poration of the tissue membrane using the at least one porator array in the poration device; c) extracting the analyte from the porated tissue membrane by way of the at least one porator array; d) analyzing the analyte to determine a concentration of the analyte within the tissue membrane; and e) delivering a permeant composition to the tissue membrane by way of the at least one porator array.
