Zusammenfassung:This disclosure provides implantable devices with remote physiological monitoring capabilities. In particular, this disclosure relates to implantable devices with multi-spectral sensors that sense analyte from within a subject to provide clinically actionable data related to the subject's heath. For example, in preferred embodiments, the devices relate to ports with one or more multi-spectral sensors capable of remotely measuring symptoms of physiological distress via the multi-spectral sensors. In some embodiments, the ports are useful to deliver chemotherapy treatments and monitor patient health over the course of chemotherapy treatments. The multi-spectral sensors sense physical light properties modulated (e.g., reflected, absorbed, dispersed, scattered, etc.) by one or more analytes present in the body to allow for earlier detection of signs indicative of a health status.
