The article discusses the challenges of designing effective implantable glucose sensors for continuous monitoring in diabetes patients. Traditionally, these sensors have faced issues due to the body's immune response, which forms a fibrous shell around the rigid electronic components, affecting the sensor's performance.
The authors propose a novel approach using soft, biocompatible materials that allow the harder sensor components to be positioned on the surface of the skin. This helps mitigate the immune response, as the softer material better matches the surrounding tissues. The key highlights are:
