Devices and methods for detecting an analyte in salivary fluid

摘要

Methods and systems are described herein for detecting one or more analyte in salivary fluid. Systems include: a discrete oral component configured for complete enclosure in a human oral cavity; at least one sensor configured to detect one or more analyte in salivary fluid; and an external device including a port configured for communication with the discrete oral component. Methods include: detecting one or more analyte within salivary fluid with at least one sensor integral to a discrete oral component, wherein the discrete oral component is configured to be completely enclosed in the oral cavity and includes one or more flavorant; and communicating information from the discrete oral component to at least one external device.

1. A system for detecting one or more analyte in salivary fluid, comprising:
a discrete oral component configured for complete enclosure in a human oral cavity without protrusion therefrom or attachment thereto, the discrete oral component configured to release at least one medicinal agent responsive to the presence of a substance in the salivary fluid; at least one sensor incorporated within the discrete oral component and configured for removal therefrom, wherein the sensor specifically identifies the one or more analyte in the salivary fluid and generates a signal that the identification has been made; and an external device including a port including a cavity configured for physical contact with the discrete oral component and including one or more devices for detection of the signal from the sensor.
