Abstract
A disease management system including an microelectrochemical cell configured to be implanted into a patient. The microelectrochemical cell may include a tube which may include at least one sidewall, a closed end configured to be implanted in the patient, and open end configured to receive a feedthrough for at least one electrode lead. The microelectrochemical cell may further include a fluid medium in fluid communication with bodily fluid, an analyte sensor configured to measure at least one analyte within the bodily fluid, and at least one electrical connection to the analyte sensor at the feedthrough.
Claims39
An implantable electrochemical cell for facilitating physiological measurement at a tissue site of a patient, comprising:
- a container portion configured to be at least partially implanted in the tissue site of the patient, the container portion comprising:
- at least one sidewall at least partially implanted in the patient, wherein the at least one sidewall comprises at least one porous interface configured to allow one or more analytes, from bodily fluid of the patient at the tissue site, to enter into a fluid medium contained in the container portion;
- and
- an analyte sensor configured to measure at least one analyte from the one or more analytes in the fluid medium;
- and
- at least one electrical connection, at a feedthrough of the container portion, between at least the analyte sensor and one or more hardware processors not implanted in the patient.
