The present invention relates to a sensor applicator assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system and provides a sensor applicator assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system, which is manufactured with a sensor module assembled inside an applicator, thereby minimizing additional work by a user for attaching the sensor module to the body and allowing the sensor module to be attached to the body simply by operating the applicator, and thus can be used more conveniently. A battery is built in the sensor module and a separate transmitter is connected to the sensor module so as to receive power supply from the sensor module and be continuously used semi-permanently, thereby making the assembly economical. The sensor module and the applicator are used as disposables, thereby allowing accurate and safe use and convenient maintenance.

Intelligent real-time blood glucose monitoring system and method based on cloud big data is disclosed. The system includes an implantable dynamic glucose sensor, a smart phone, a blood glucose monitoring software application installed on the smart phone, a finger blood glucose meter, and a big data cloud server. By processing historical blood glucose measurement data of a user stored in the cloud, the monitoring system effectively corrects and influences signal differences produced by individual users so as to ensure the validity and accuracy of measurement signals during sensor operation.

A disposable electronic thermometer is provided. The disposable electronic thermometer, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a base substrate including an adhesive layer formed on one surface to be attached to a body of a user; a control part including a circuit board arranged on one surface of the base substrate and at least one driving chip mounted on the circuit board; a temperature sensor arranged on one surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to the circuit board, to thus measure a body temperature of a user; an NFC antenna electrically connected to the circuit board and arranged on one surface of the base substrate to surround the circuit board; and a cover member attached to one surface of the base substrate to prevent external exposure of the circuit board, the temperature sensor, and the NFC antenna.

Embodiments of the present disclosure, inter alia, are directed to a one piece continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device (device or sensor) and a fully disposable, one piece, mounting unit for mounting the CGM device, is provided. The device and the mounting unit, in some embodiments, are pre-assembled in the factory to a one piece, disposable, mounting assembly. The mounting assembly, can be comprised of sealed compartment that includes a portion of the sensor and a non-sealed compartment that includes another portion of the sensor. The mounting assembly can be fully automatic, at a button press the sensor is adhered to the skin, and the sensor probe is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue.

An ECG electrode includes a substrate and one or more holes. The substrate includes on one side an electrolyte gel for contacting a patients skin and an adhesive. The one or more holes perforate the substrate and the adhesive to increase the adhesion between the patients skin and the substrate. The one or more holes can have a circular shape, rectangular shape, crescent shape, polygonal shape, elliptical shape, diamond shape, star shape, or triangular shape. A method for manufacturing an ECG electrode includes assembling a substrate that includes on one side an electrolyte gel for contacting a patients skin and an adhesive and creating one or more holes in the substrate and the adhesive that increase the adhesion between the skin and the substrate. The one or more holes are created using a laser or a drill.

A sensor insertion device comprises a lower case and an upper case. A base holder and a needle holder are disposed in the lower case. A needle holder raising mechanism is disposed above the needle holder. A sensor base having a sensor unit is held by the base holder. When the upper case is pushed down, the base holder and the needle holder move toward an opening on the lower surface side of the lower case, and the needle holder is raised by the needle holder raising mechanism. A protrusion that holds the upper case on the lower case is provided to the upper case in a state in which the upper case has been pushed down until the opening on the lower surface side comes into contact with the skin.

In some aspects, an analyte sensor is provided for detecting an analyte concentration level in a bio-fluid sample. The analyte sensor has a base, a first electrode and a second electrode wherein a thermocouple portion is provided integral with the second electrode thereby enabling on-sensor temperature measurement capability. In some embodiments, two and only two electrical contact engagement portions are provided thereby simplifying electrical contact. Manufacturing methods and systems utilizing the analyte sensors are provided, as are numerous other aspects.

Apparatus and methods provide wireless, disposable, continuous pulse oximeter sensor technology, useful and beneficial for a number of applications including relatively extended periods of data collection, and/or packaged in compact and easy-to-use assemblies. Economic fabrication and use provides flexible methodologies that can reduce the overall costs of monitoring and collecting patient's physiological data, and provide relatively greater ease and comfort to the patient. A disposable wireless continuous pulse oximeter sensor has a reduced emitter-detector separation, a low-power frontend, and a low-cost processor that sends waveforms to a host device so that the host can calculate and display the parameters of interest. Complications created by the reduced distance between emitter and detector are minimized by using an emitter-detector assembly with an optically dark background, and a bandage for improved optical compliance.
