1. A method for delivering a drug dose, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first electrode having a resistance;
hydrating a first matrix with a first ionic solution, the first matrix being operably attached to the first electrode;
providing a second electrode having a resistance;
adding impurities to a surface of the second electrode;
hydrating a second matrix with a second ionic solution, the second matrix being operably attached to the second electrode; and
,applying a voltage potential between the first electrode and the second electrode to facilitate an electrochemical reaction at either or both the first and second electrode such that the respective resistance of the associated electrode varies.
