Methods and systems for sensor calibration and sensor glucose (SG) fusion are used advantageously to improve the accuracy and reliability of orthogonally redundant glucose sensor devices, which may include optical and electrochemical glucose sensors. Calibration for both sensors may be achieved via fixed-offset and/or dynamic regression methodologies, depending, e.g., on sensor stability and Isig-Ratio pair correlation. For SG fusion, respective integrity checks may be performed for SG values from the optical and electrochemical sensors, and the SG values calibrated if the integrity checks are passed. Integrity checks may include checking for sensitivity loss, noise, and drift. If the integrity checks are failed, in-line sensor mapping between the electrochemical and optical sensors may be performed prior to calibration. The electrochemical and optical SG values may be weighted (as a function of the respective sensor's overall reliability index (RI)) and the weighted SGs combined to obtain a single, fused SG value.

The system of claim 1, wherein the sensor device is either configured to be implanted or subcutaneously disposed in the body of the user. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is configured to be worn on the user's body. 4. The system of claim 1, further including a handheld monitor. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the handheld monitor includes an integrated blood glucose meter. 6. The system of claim 1, further including an insulin pump. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein said glucose monitoring system is a closed-loop system. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the optical glucose sensor includes an assay having a glucose receptor, a glucose analog, a first fluorophore, and a reference fluorophore different from said first fluorophore. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein said output signal of the optical glucose sensor is a ratio of the fluorescence signal from the first fluorophore to the fluorescence signal from the reference fluorophore. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the electrochemical and optical sensors has a distal portion and a proximal portion, and wherein respective distal portions of the optical sensor and the electrochemical sensor are configured to be co-located within the user's body. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform said validity check only if the first and second signals are not in an initialization period. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein, in step (e), the microprocessor calculates said mapped value of the second signal based on one or more values for the first signal that were generated after the initialization period and before said first meter glucose value. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein, prior to step (e), the microprocessor calculates a correlation value between said first and second signals. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the microprocessor is configured to calculate said correlation value by performing linear fitting of the second signal to the first signal, and then calculating the coefficient of determination between the second signal and the first signal. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein, if the correlation value is less than a calculated threshold, then the microprocessor determines that the first and second signals do not correlate well with each other, saves said meter glucose value and second signal to a buffer, and does not perform steps (e) and (f); if the correlation value is greater than a calculated threshold, then the microprocessor determines that the first and second signals correlate well with each other, and said mapping in step (e) can be performed. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the buffer is a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer, and has a calculated size. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein, to perform said mapping, the microprocessor performs a linear regression calculation on stored values of said first and second signals so as to obtain a first slope value and a first offset value, said stored values being values of said first and second signals that were generated before said first meter glucose value. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the microprocessor calculates said mapped value for the second signal by using the relation (mapped signal)=(first signal+first offset)*(first slope). 19. The system of claim 18, wherein, in step (f), the microprocessor calibrates the mapped value for the second signal so as to generate an optical sensor glucose value by using the relation (optical sensor glucose value)=(mapped value of second signal+fixed offset)*(second slope), wherein said second slope is calculated based on a paired meter glucose value and second signal value. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein said fixed offset is empirically derived from in vivo or in vitro data. 21. The system of claim 1, wherein, the microprocessor is configured to perform a validity check on said subsequent meter glucose value and its paired second signal, and then save the paired subsequent meter glucose value and second signal to a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer. 22. The system of claim 19, further including a hand-held monitor, wherein the transmitter wirelessly transmits said optical sensor glucose value to the hand-held monitor. 23. The system of claim 19, further including an insulin pump, wherein the transmitter wirelessly transmits said optical sensor glucose value to the insulin pump. 24. The system of claim 1, wherein the optical glucose sensor includes an assay fluorophore and a reference fluorophore, wherein the assay fluorophore generates an assay fluorescence signal and the reference fluorophore generates a reference fluorescence signal, and wherein said second signal is a ratio of the assay fluorescence signal to the reference fluorescence signal.
