A wearable, conductive textile patch Is provided that may include any of a number of features for monitoring body analytes and/or delivering fluids t o a body. In one embodiment of the invention, a single, patch-mounted system monitors glucose levels of a diabetic person and provides appropriate doses of insulin in response to the glucose measurements. A hand-held user interf ace can be provided for wirelessly controlling the system and/or receiving i nformation from it. Conductive pathways can be formed in the fabric of the p atch. Components that can be integrated into the flexible patch include a po wer source, controller, transmitter, antenna, temperature and other sensors, fluid pump, infusion set, electrical pathways, switches, controls, electrod es, connectors, resistors and other circuit elements. Such components can be embedded, interwoven or coated on to the flexible patch instead of or in ad dition to surface mounting. Methods associated with use of the flexible patc h system. |
