The present disclosure relates to a method of administering a medication with a dose detection system in combination with a medication delivery device. In one aspect, the system includes a module body adapted to be removably attached to the actuator of a medication delivery device, and a plurality of magnetic sensing elements attached to said module body. The magnetic sensing elements can be spaced apart from one another to define a ring pattern. The system detects the amount of rotation of a magnetic ring of said one or more dipoles of a medication delivery device relative to the magnetic sensing elements during dose delivery when the module is attached to the device.

Dose detection for a medication delivery device

The present disclosure relates to a dose detection system and method for a medication delivery device. The dose detection system may include a dosing component attached to an actuator and rotationally and axially moveable relative to a coupling component attached to a dose setting member. The dose detection system may further comprise a module including an electronic sensor operative to detect a relative rotation of the coupling component and the dosing component to detect a dose delivered by the medication delivery device.

Dose detection module for a medication delivery device

The present disclosure relates to a dose detection system for use in combination with a medication delivery device. In one aspect, the system includes a module keyed to the device and including a sensor operable to detect the relative angular position of a sensed element attached to the medication delivery device. The system determines the type of medication contained by the device, and/or the type of device, based on the detected angular position of the sensed element. In another aspect, the dose detection system is used in combination with a medication delivery device including a dose setting member which rotates relative to an actuator during dose delivery. The dose detection system includes a sensor and is operable to detect the relative angular positions of a sensed element attached to the dose setting member during dose delivery and to determine the amount of dose delivered. Related methods are also disclosed.

Dose detection and drug identification for a medication delivery device
