Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a continuous analyte sensor, such as a continuous glucose sensor. One such system utilizes first and second working electrodes to measure additional analyte or non-analyte related signal. Such measurements may provide a background and/or sensitivity measurement(s) for use in processing sensor data and may be used to trigger events such as digital filtering of data or suspending display of data.

1-10. (canceled)
An implantable continuous glucose sensor comprising:
- an elongated body configured to be transcutaneously implanted into a host, the elongated body comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first sensor element covering at least a first portion of the substrate;
- a second sensor element covering at least a second portion of the substrate,
- wherein the first portion and the second portion are different;
- and
- a third sensor element covering a third portion of the substrate;
- wherein the first sensor element, the second sensor element, and the third sensor element all share a same axis, wherein the same axis is the axis of sensor insertion.
