A method for detecting in-vivo properties of a biosensor. In the inventive method, a sensitivity-to-admittance relation is provided and a raw current in the biosensor is measured. An in-vivo current response is also measured at first and second operating points. A time constant τ is determined by the electrical capacitance C of the working electrode and the electrical resistance R.sub.M of the membrane by τ=R.sub.M.Math.C. The first and second operating points are selected below and above τ, respectively. An analyte value in a sample of a body fluid is determined by using the raw current and compensating sensitivity drift in the biosensor, which in turn is compensated by using the measured value for the raw current and a corrected value for the sensitivity. The failsafe operation of the biosensor is monitored by using the in-vivo current response measured at the first and second operating points.

Techniques for acquiring and processing data in combination with a photonic sensor system-on-a-chip (SoC) (1) to provide real-time calibrated concentration levels of an analyte (e.g., a constituent molecule within a biological substance) are described. A raw signal (1300) to be analyzed is collected by the sensor chip (1) via diffuse reflectance or transmittance. Determination of the analyte concentration is based on, in part, Beer-Lambert principles and facilitated by applying (2240) scattering correction to the raw signal (1300) prior to decomposition and analysis thereof.
