Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for administering a medicament to a patient. In one aspect, a system includes an injection pen device in wireless communication with a mobile communication device. The injection pen device includes a housing including a chamber to encase a cartridge containing medicine, a dose setting and dispensing mechanism to set the mechanism to dispense a particular dose of the medicine from the loaded cartridge, a sensor unit to detect a dispensed dose based on positions and/or movements of the dose setting and dispensing mechanism, and an electronics unit in communication with the sensor unit to process the detected dispensed dose and time data associated with a dispensing event and to wirelessly transmit the dose data to a user's device. The mobile communication device provides a software application to provide the user with health information using the processed dose data.

Medicine administering system including injection pen and companion device

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, a system includes an injection pen device including a dose setting mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and an electronics unit to generate dose data associated with a dispensing event of a dose of the medicine dispensed from the injection pen device and time data associated with the dispensing event; a mobile device in wireless communication to receive and process the dose data; and a software application configured to determine a recommended dose based on health data and contextual data associated with a user of the injection pen device, the software application including a learning dose calculator module to adaptively calculate the recommended dose of the medicine based on time-relevant and circumstances-relevant data specific to the user of the injection pen device.

Intelligent medication delivery systems and methods

Intelligent (smart) tracking accessories for a medicine dispensing device, such as an injection pen or pen device, are described. A smart tracking accessory in the form of a smart cap for a medicine dispensing device, such as an insulin pen, is configured to protect the needle of the dispensing device and the medicine contained therein when the device is not in use. The smart cap may detect the presence of the medicine dispensing device, detect an activation event such as removal from the medicine dispensing device, inform the user whether it is safe to administer a therapeutic dose of medicine, and log occurrence of the dosing event.

Intelligent accessories for medicine dispensing device

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, an intelligent medicine administering system includes a medicine injection device having a multi-channel encoder that detects fault conditions (e.g., such as open or short circuits) and a patient user's companion device including a software application operable to implement algorithms for detecting faults and communication loss and alerting the patient user for safety and fail-safes of the medicine injection device.

Intelligent medication delivery systems and methods for dose setting and dispensing monitoring

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for tracking delivery of medication. In one aspect, a medication delivery tracking device can interface with and be physically placed on a medication delivery pen device. The medication delivery tracking device can detect an occurrence of a delivery of a medication by the medication delivery pen device. In some implementations, the medication delivery tracking device can detect a dose amount of the medication delivered by the medication delivery pen device.

Automatic medication delivery tracking

Medical devices critical to patient health and safety that communicate with third party hardware and software, such as smart devices, require validation to ensure compatibility and correct performance. Disclosed are methods and systems to perform a self-validation of hardware and/or software components with a medical device to confirm that any combination of hardware and software are compatible and perform acceptably. If the self-validation passes then the user may safely use the system, and it may report to a cloud server that the particular configuration tested was successful. If the self-validation fails, the user will be prevented from using safety-critical aspects of the application and be notified of the incompatibility; and the results may also be reported to a cloud server.
