1. A system, comprising:
an on-body medical device having a first metallic coil; and
an adhesive pad for use with an on-body medical device, comprising:
a geometry configured to at least partially surround the on-body medical device,
an adhesive on one side of the adhesive pad for securing the adhesive pad to skin of a user, and
a second metallic coil secured to or positioned within the adhesive pad for acting as an antenna for wireless communications to and from the on-body medical device, wherein the first metallic coil and the second metallic coil are positioned and configured so that applying power to either of the metallic coils causes a magnetic field to be generated that causes a current to be generated in the other of the metallic coils to facilitate the wireless communications; and
an electronic component secured to the adhesive pad and electrically connected to the second metallic coil so that the second first metallic coil powers the electronic component.
