摘要：
Implantable sensor apparatus and methods of implantation. In one embodiment, a fully implantable, biocompatible sensor is disposed within a cavity or pocket formed within a living being, such that the sensor remains in a desired orientation and placement so as to enhance the performance of the sensor, and mitigate the effects of one or more factors potentially deleterious to the operation of the sensor and the host being. In one implementation, the sensor comprises an implantable biocompatible oxygen-based glucose sensor which is implanted deep within the being's torso tissue proximate the extant fascia, and oriented such that an active detector aspect of the device faces away from the being's skin surface. In one variant, the deep placement, orientation, and construction of the sensor itself cooperate to enhance the performance of the sensor, especially over extended periods of time, with little need for external calibration.
