A medical device for supporting health control is provided. An example medical device can include a receiver unit configured to receive information regarding a current location of the medical device or a current time-zone of the medical device, a user interface, a storage unit storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the medical device to perform operations. Examples of operations include determining a current location of the medical device and/or a current time zone of the medical device from the received information, providing a dose helper functionality employing a titration method to determine and/or recommend a basal long-acting insulin dose value or a corrective amount of basal long-acting insulin to be administered by a patient to the patient based on a measured physiological parameter, information about hyperglycemic events, the determined current location and/or current time zone of the medical device.

Medical device with dose helper functionality including time zone or location determination

Described is an electronics assembly with pressure or force sensing capabilities for use in a drug delivery device. The electronics assembly includes a processor, a sensor arranged to measure the force applied by a drive mechanism to drive a medicament from a cartridge, a wireless module to which an external device can be paired, a power module arranged to supply power to the assembly, and memory storing instructions for the processor to perform. The instructions include receiving a measurement signal during the drug delivery operation, and determining if the dose of the medicament was expelled from the drug delivery device based on the received measurement signal.

Pressure sensor assembly and methods for injection devices

A data management unit for supporting health control, the unit including: a processor, a data input adapted to input data and/or requests and connected to the processor, a data storage connected to the processor, wherein the processor is adapted to assign a tag referring to an event chosen from a group of tags comprising the fasting tag and at least one other event tag to a new data received from the data input or a measurement unit, wherein the tag is assigned either automatically by the processor and/or via the data input, wherein the fasting tag can only be assigned to the new data if a time stamp of the new data is within a predefined fasting window, wherein the predefined fasting window is stored in the data storage.

Data management unit for supporting health control

The invention refers to a medical device for supporting health control. In order to provide safe access to a dose helper functionality, the device has a first storage means arranged to store an initial data matrix with at least one initial parameter set containing at least two initial data entries for one parameter of the dose helper functionality; receiving means arranged to receive initialization data and/or security data, preferably from a second storage means, for example provided by a hardware key; selecting means operable to select based at least in part on the initialization data one data entry for each initial parameter set as initial data or one initial parameter template containing a reference to one data entry for each initial parameter set as initial data; and first activation means arranged to activate, preferably based at least in part on the security data, execution of the dose helper functionality based on the selected initial data. The invention further refers to a respective medical system, a method for providing such information, a respective computer program and a respective computer program product.

Medical system

An auto-injector device comprising an injector body having a proximal end and a distal end; a syringe received in the injector body; a needle disposed in a first end of the syringe to extend toward an opening in the distal end of the injector body; and a sealing element disposed at the distal end of the injector body for making a seal against a patient's skin. The auto-injector is configured to generate a reduced pressure to draw the auto-injector device against the patient's skin. The auto-injector device comprises a pressure-reducing mechanism configured to generate the reduced pressure within the injector body during an injection process. The pressure reducing mechanism comprises a moveable member configured such that movement of the moveable member from a first position to a second position enlarges a closed volume within the injector body to generate the reduced pressure within the closed volume.

Auto-injector device

A medicament delivery device comprises a housing containing a medicament delivery mechanism including an injection needle. A sterilizing mechanism is connected to the housing. An adhesive surface provides for securing the housing to a patient's skin during a medicament delivery process. The sterilizing mechanism is configured such that, in use once the housing is secured to a patient's skin, the sterilizing mechanism can be operated to sterilize an area of the patient's skin to serve as an injection site.
