Provided is a bio-sensor system which utilizes radio frequency
identification technology and which includes a remote transponder in
wireless communication with an implantable on-chip transponder. A power
supply collects alternating current voltage pulses from an electro-active
polymer generator embedded in muscle tissue for generating power for the
on-chip transponder. The power supply is specifically adapted to provide
a stable and precise sensor reference voltage to a sensor assembly to
enhance the accuracy of measurements of a physiological parameter of a
patient. The remote transponder receives data representative of the
physiological parameter such as glucose concentration levels. The data is
processed and transmitted to the remote transponder by the on-chip
transponder. The precision and stability of the sensor reference voltage
is enhanced by the specific circuit architecture of a glucose sensor to
allow for relatively accurate measurement of glucose concentration levels
without the use of a microprocessor.
