1. A body-mountable device comprising:
- a transparent polymer, wherein the transparent polymer defines a posterior side and an anterior side of the body-mountable device; and
a structure embedded in the transparent polymer, wherein the structure has an outer circumference defined by an outer diameter and an inner circumference defined by an inner diameter and includes a sensor configured to detect an analyte and an antenna, wherein the antenna includes a plurality of conductive loops spaced apart from each other between the outer circumference and the inner circumference,wherein each conductive loop in the plurality of conductive loops comprises a respective metal layer disposed between a first respective polymer layer and a second respective polymer layer, and wherein the respective metal layer, the first respective polymer layer, and the second respective polymer layer are each embedded in the transparent polymer, andwherein the transparent polymer extends from the anterior side of the body-mountable device to the posterior side of the body-mountable device between adjacent conductive loops in the plurality of conductive loops.
