1. A sensor array for measuring an analyte concentration, the sensor array comprising:
a laminate comprising an adhesive layer configured for adhering the laminate to a host's skin;
a plurality of sensor devices each attached to the laminate and each configured for insertion through the host's skin at a different insertion site, wherein each sensor device comprises a sensor unit and a mounting unit configured to support the sensor device on an exterior surface of the host's skin, the sensor unit comprising an in vivo portion having a tissue piercing element and a sensor body, the sensor body comprising at least one electrode and a membrane covering at least a portion of the at least one electrode; and
sensor electronics configured to process sensor data received from the plurality of sensor devices to determine differences of a parameter along a plane of an area covered by the sensor array, the parameter being related to physiological information.
