An external device according to an embodiment includes a dipole antenna and a cavity reflecting an electro-magnetic field, radiated by the dipole antenna, in a direction toward an inside of a body having a target analyte. The external device may be attached to the exterior of the body having the target analyte.

Generally, methods, devices, and systems related to analyte monitoring and data logging are provided—e.g., as related to in vivo analyte monitoring devices and systems. In some aspects, methods, devices, and systems are provided that relate to enable related settings based on an expected use of an in vivo positioned sensor; logging or otherwise recording analyte levels acquired or derived—e.g., sample analyte levels more frequently than they are logged or otherwise recorded in memory; dynamically adjust the data logging frequency; randomly determine times of acquiring or storing analyte levels from the in-vivo positioned analyte sensors; and enable recording related settings when the system is operable.

Several embodiments and methods are described for draining a lymphatic system for therapeutic purposes. The lymphatic draining can be performed by removal of fluid from the lymphatic system via a needle, a catheter, an access port, a reservoir, a shunt, or a combination of these devices. The drainage devices can be configured for use during only a single procedure or for reoccurring procedures.

The present disclosure relates to a method for calculating the calibration sensitivity of a sensor for insertion into the body and, more particularly, to a method for calculating calibration sensitivity, wherein a biometric value of a user can be accurately calibrated by overcoming an error in a biometric value measured through a sensor for insertion into the body, or an error in a reference biometric value measured through a biometric information measurement device, by storing past sensitivities and using at least one of the past sensitivities and a currently calculated sensitivity to calculate a calibration sensitivity of the sensor for insertion into the body, and the calibration sensitivity of the sensor for insertion into the body can be accurately calculated, even if there is an error in the reference biometric value or the reference biometric value temporarily deviates from the range of normal biometric values of the user, by determining whether the reference biometric value used to calculate the calibration sensitivity is within an allowable range.

One or more insertion mechanisms may be configured to insert and retract one or more needles associated with a component configured to implantable component into the tissue of a patient. For example, a component or implantable component may include a cannula for delivery of medication to a patient or an analyte sensor. An insertion mechanism may be configured to be part of or enclosed within a structure of the Disease Management System. For example, an insertion mechanism may be configured to operate within the structure of the Disease Management System and not require outside components or devices to apply one or more needles or implantable components to the patient.

An implant (in particular a stent) includes a main structure and a sensor assembly for measuring a body parameter. The sensor assembly includes at least one electrical conductor and at least one capacitor which are connected in such a way that the conductor and the capacitor form at least one electrical resonant circuit. The electrical conductor is surrounded by an electrical insulation. The electrical conductor is in the form of a coil having at least one turn. The capacitor is in contact at least on one side with the surrounding environment and its capacitance changes depending on the body parameter that is to be determined.
