A disposable article to be fitted to a wearer and other types of articles having a detection device, such as a diagnostic panel that may, in one set of embodiments, include at least one biosensor, each including at least one bio-recognition element. The biosensor is adapted to detect a target biological analyte in body substances, and on/or through the wearer's skin. The diagnostic panel may be adapted to determine the physical condition or state of well being of a mammal, or the cause of a particular disease state, such as diarrhea, vaginal infections, sexually transmitted diseases ("STD's"), and other diseases, and to signal the caretaker, the wearer, or an actuator of the occurrence. Examples of physical conditions of the state of well being include, but are not limited to, ovulation and the onset of menstruation. |
