A Full-Implantable Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System Design

Published: 28 March 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Experimentation on animals is part and parcel of diabetes pathological study and new drugs development. There are several disadvantages of traditional blood-glucose acquiring approach since tail incision for blood manually operated on experimental rats. This study focused on automatic continuous blood-glucose measurement after one-off implanting operation. A full-implantable system including blood-glucose measurement, power source, communication and control was developed, where three-electrode electrochemical sensor was adopted for measurement module, wireless power transmission based on electromagnetic field was employed for power supply and bluetooth4.0 low energy (BLE) technology was used for wireless communication. The final encapsulation size and weight of implantable part were 11mm*17mm*5mm and 2.57g respectively, which are suitable for implantation into rats. Experiments by the designed system showed that the system is effective, blood-glucose concentrations can be relative accurately measured under the measurement range 2-34mmol/L.
