Abstract: This study is a continuation of the development of the “Electronic Mosquito,” a minimally-invasive blood sampling and analysis device. Wireless communication is a pivotal feature of the Electronic Mosquito in terms of usability and future applicability. The present article describes the design process used to construct a working wireless communication link using an established and reliable protocol. The resulting wireless link performed to specifications, with an empirically determined range of about 20 feet. Power consumption analysis indicated that the wireless system could operate for 100 days off of a CR2032 battery without any power control, and likely longer if power management is implemented in the software. The adopted communication protocol also appears to be a likely candidate for the creation of a Personal Area Medical Network standard which could greatly benefit modern medicine as well as the Electronic Mosquito.
