In one embodiment, an IDDC system utilizes an intelligent therapeutic agent delivery system comprised of one, but more likely an array of 'cells' containing therapeutic agent(s) and/or diagnostic agents(s); an integrated bio-sensing system designed to sample and analyze biological materials using multiple sensors that include both hardware and software components. The software component involves biomedical signal processing to analyze complex liquid mixtures and a microcontroller(s) acts as interface to the biosensors, to the therapeutic delivery elements, and to a communications system(s) for the purpose of controlling the amount of therapeutic agent to deliver and also to provide information in a useful form to interested parties on the progress of therapy and compliance thereto. The synergistic effect of combining the above describe elements is expected to dramatically improve patient compliance with prescribed therapy, quality and timeliness of care provided by physicians, and at the same time reduce the cost of providing effective healthcare to IDDC system users, thereby improving profitability for Managed Care organizations and pharmaceutical companies utilizing the system.

Integrated intra-dermal delivery, diagnostic and communication system

A system that enables the secure, rapid and efficient transfer of patient medical information over existing financial information exchange networks and protocols. An account input device can be read by existing financial transaction terminals and a transaction state amount value using the financial transaction message exchange protocol entered encoded according to a non-financial transaction encoding scheme. A transaction message is routed to a provider via the financial transaction message exchange system for processing such as the acceptance or refusal of a medical procedure or prescription fulfillment.

Healthcare information management via financial networks

A transdermal device such as a patch can include a drug source, a porator, and an energy storage device on-board the patch. The porator operates free of any concurrent connection to any external source of power. A switch can be used to make the selective electrical connection between the porator and the energy storage device. The switch can be arranged to respond to a manual user action after the patch has been adhered to skin, including separation of the porator from a remainder of the patch. Optionally, a series of switches can make electrical connections between the porator and respective individual energy storage devices.

Switch for transdermal patch

A transdermal patch can include a drug source, a porator, and an energy storage device on-board the patch. Conductive contact terminals can extend from the energy storage device for connection to an external source of power. The porator operates free of any concurrent connection to any external source of power. A switch can be used to make the selective electrical connection between the porator and the energy storage device. The switch can be arranged to respond to a manual user action after the patch has been adhered to skin, including separation of the porator from a remainder of the patch. Optionally, a series of switches can make electrical connections between the porator and respective individual energy storage devices. In another aspect, a transdermal patch includes a mechanical bias that applies a displacement force to the porator to thereby better ensure good physical contact between the porator and the skin.

Transdermal patch

A dispenser places transdermal devices and packaged transdermal devices in an electrically charged state. The dispenser is particularly suitable for transdermal devices that include electrically actuatable components, such as transdermal, drug-delivery patches that include microporator circuitry. A controller can be operatively coupled to a power circuit of the dispenser to control the times that transdermal devices can be charged, thereby providing a measure of control over use and misuse of the transdermal devices to be dispensed.

Dispenser for transdermal devices

A transdermal device mountable to skin includes a porator to lower barriers to transdermal delivery of drugs, enzymes, reagents and the like. The device further includes a mechanical bias that applies a displacement force to the porator to thereby better ensure good physical contact between the porator and the skin. A device so constructed can include an on-board energy storage device so that the porator can operate free of any concurrent connection to any external source of power.
