Abstract
Blood glucose diagnostic systems are a world-wide
success story. Nevertheless, all the painless solutions available
are too expensive to be disposable. We aim to bridge this gap by
developing a painless disposable diabetes diagnostic patch. Our
envisaged device is fully integrated and autonomous: harvests the
required energy from the environment and features sensor autocalibration in real-time. In this paper, we present the design
and preliminary results of the different parts in the wearable
patch: electrochemical glucose sensor developed on scalable PCB
technology, biofuel cell based on glucose in the biofluid sample,
and instrumentation electronics designed on a PCB with energy
and data management blocks
