Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to implantable biosensors configured to be implanted into tissue of a subject at an implantation site. In an exemplary embodiment, the implantable biosensor comprising: an electronic module and a compliant sensing tether extending from the electronic module. The compliant sensing tether comprising a proximal portion coupled to the electronic module, a distal portion spaced apart from the electronics module, and an intermediate portion joining the proximal portion to the distal portion. The proximal portion has a first flexibility and the distal portion having a second flexibility. The second flexibility of the distal portion being greater than the first flexibility of the proximal portion. The distal portion comprises a sensor configured to sense a signal corresponding to an analyte of the subject, wherein the signal corresponding to the analyte is transferred to the electronics module via the compliant sensing tether.
