A physician and nanoengineers at UC San Diego have successfully tested a noninvasive skin patch prototype that monitors blood glucose levels, a daily requirement for many persons with diabetes. The patch is thin, lightweight, easily applied and removed, and works for up to eight hours.
Assembly and the transfer process of the ISF glucose wearable patch. The screen-printed electrode system is transferred to a layer of adhesive tape. Afterward, the iontophoretic electrodes are placed on top of the adhesive layer, the cathode is placed on top of the screen-printed array, and the anode is set 1.5 centimeters away from the cathode). Next, a piece of agarose gel is placed on top of each electrode. The transfer process consists of placing the adhesive layer on the skin and removing the top layer of paper from the adhesive surface.
