Continuous analyte monitoring system with microneedle array

Abstract

Described herein are variations of an analyte monitoring system, including an analyte monitoring device (110, 300). For example, an analyte monitoring device may include an implantable microneedle array (140, 330, 130, 500, 2900) for use in measuring one or more analytes (e.g., glucose), such as in a continuous manner. The microneedle array (140, 330, 130, 500, 2900) may include, for example, at least one microneedle (510, 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1400, 2700, 2910) including a tapered distal portion (514, 714, 914, 1114, 1414) having an insulated distal apex (516, 716, 916, 1116, 1316, 1416, 2716), and an electrode (520, 720, 920, 1420, 2720) on a surface of the tapered distal portion located proximal to the insulated distal apex. At least some of the microneedles may be electrically isolated such that one or more electrodes is individually addressable.
