Abstract
An example system includes a flexible substrate configured to be mounted to a skin surface. The system includes a sensor probe that has a first end attached to the flexible substrate and a second end configured to extend beneath the skin surface to contact interstitial fluid. A sensor is configured to measure a physiological property and is disposed at the second end of the sensor probe. A transmitter is attached to the flexible substrate and is configured to provide information related to sensor measurements to a controller. The controller is configured to a drug delivery rate based on the information.
