1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- an analyte sensor configured to monitor an analyte level in interstitial fluid under a skin surface; and
a transmitter unit operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured to receive one or more signals generated by the analyte sensor corresponding to the monitored analyte level, the transmitter unit including an external surface having one or more conductive points in electrical contact with the analyte sensor, wherein the one or more conductive points physically contacts the skin surface when the transmitter unit is operatively coupled to the analyte sensor.

14. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
-
an analyte sensor configured to generate one or more signals corresponding to a monitored analyte level in interstitial fluid under a skin surface; a transmitter unit operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured to receive the generated one or more signals from the analyte sensor, the transmitter unit including an external surface having one or more conductive points in electrical contact with the transmitter unit, wherein the one or more conductive points physically contacts the skin surface when the transmitter unit is operatively coupled to the analyte sensor; and a receiver in signal communication with the transmitter unit and configured to receive data associated with the generated one or more signals corresponding to the monitored analyte level. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
