Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a biosensor for at least partial insertion in a fetal scalp, for monitoring an analyte in the body of the fetus, wherein the biosensor comprises a needle and a microdialysis element for sampling the analyte. The invention also provides a sensing system comprising the biosensor, configured to flow a liquid through the microdialysis element. The invention can be used for e.g. lactate sensing as well as releasing a pharmaceutical. Hence, the biosensor and/or sensing system may also be used for delivery of a pharmaceutical or nutrient to a fetus.
