Flexible Electronics for Analyte Detection

A glucose sensor is configured to be wrapped around a surface of an injection needle or cannula. The glucose sensor measures a glucose concentration of a patient when the injection needle or cannula is inserted into the patient. The glucose sensor includes a flexible substrate, at least two electrodes disposed on a surface of the flexible substrate, a glucose responsive hydrogel at least partially disposed on a first electrode of the at least two electrodes, and a membrane permeable to glucose. The membrane is disposed on the glucose-responsive hydrogel. The total thickness of the glucose sensor is less than 10 µm.
