1. A fluid infusion system comprising:
a housing configured to be adhesively coupled to an anatomy of a user;
a tube configured to extend from the housing for insertion into the anatomy of the user, the tube comprising a plurality of conduits defined within the tube, the plurality of conduits comprising:
a fluid delivery conduit configured to facilitate a fluidic connection between a fluid source and the anatomy of the user, wherein the fluid delivery conduit terminates at an end of the tube, wherein the end of the tube is configured to be inserted into the anatomy of the user, and wherein the end of the tube comprises a fluid outlet, for delivery of fluid into the anatomy of the user, through which the fluid delivery conduit is configured to facilitate the fluidic connection, and
electrode receiving conduits configured to accommodate a plurality of electrodes for determining a physiological characteristic of the user, wherein each conduit of the electrode receiving conduits is configured to extend in parallel with the fluid delivery conduit through the tube,
wherein respective windows of a plurality of windows are each defined along an outer length of the tube at respective locations that are spaced apart from the end of the tube to create respective openings, at the respective locations that are spaced apart from the end of the tube, through the tube and parallel with respective conduits of the electrode receiving conduits, and wherein each window of the plurality of windows is configured to expose a respective electrode of the plurality of electrodes to the anatomy of the user.
