A system for monitoring at least presence of a bioanalyte. The system comprises: a substrate having a skin contact surface, a microneedle outwardly protruding from the skin contact surface, a sensing complex positioned in the microneedle, and a circuit attached to the substrate. The sensing complex can comprise a nanostructure modified by a functional moiety covalently attached thereto, and an affinity moiety effective to react specifically with the bioanalyte to produce a reaction product. The circuit can apply voltage to the nanostructure and monitor changes in an electrical property of the nanostructure responsively to reaction between the reaction product and the functional moiety.

Method and system for subcutaneous sensing

A light sensor comprises a nanostructure connectable to a source electrode and a drain electrode, and light sensitive moiety covalently attached to a surface of the nanostructure. The light sensitive moiety comprises a light sensitive molecule having an absorbance spectrum in a visible range. The light sensitive molecule is selected such that upon irradiation of the light sensor by light having a central wavelength within the absorbance spectrum, the sensitive molecule transfers or extracts an electron to or from the surface of the nanostructure.
