Embodiments related to a self-administered, behavior modification program facilitated through a structured tailoring method and system thereof which accelerates and enhances the internalization process of the individual, and which provides help when the individual begins to fail in adhering or continuing with the behavior modification are disclosed. Program instructions that when executed by a processor causes a processor to initiate automatically a schedule of events of a structured tailoring procedure upon entry criteria being met at some unknown time, provide intervention according to the intervention preferences when the adherence criteria for one of the events has not been met, and end automatically the structured collection procedure upon exit criteria being met at some unknown time.

Structured tailoring

A portable medical apparatus for administering a fluid drug in doses, including a first housing including a reservoir unit with an outlet into a fluid path for conducting the drug, a second housing including a conveying unit for dispensing the drug from the reservoir unit in doses and a suitable controller for controlling the conveying unit, an adaptor including a coupling structure for receiving the first housing and the second housing and an attaching structure for extra-corporeally carrying the adaptor on a patient, wherein the conveying unit and the reservoir unit can be joined together to form an integrated mechanical and fluidic unit, and coupled to and decoupled from at least two differently configured adaptors, wherein at least one of the adaptors is configured to be directly attached to the surface of the skin and at least one of the adaptors is configured to be worn on or carried by an article of clothing or a wearing system (e.g., a belt).

Extra-corporeally portable infusion device

Method of producing an administering device for infusing or injecting a product, whereby in order to mold a housing shell serving as a case for components of the administering device in a multi-component injection molding process at least one pre-molded, transparent insert part made from a first plastic material is inserted in an injection mold molded to a shape matching the shape of the housing shell, a dimensionally stable, curable second plastic material is injected into the injection mold around the insert part to render it watertight and an opening left free in the second plastic material is closed to render it watertight by injecting on an elastomeric third plastic material.

Administering device with a multi-component injection-molded housing

A drug delivery pump drive which uses a linear piezoelectric motor to advance a syringe piston to deliver a liquid drug and a method thereof are disclosed. The pump drive, provided in a drug delivery pump, provides silent operation and very low energy consumption compared to electric motor-based drives. The small size of the motor helps also to reduce overall size of the pump drive and the resulting drug deliver pump.

Drug delivery pump drive using linear piezoelectric motor

Method of producing an administering device for infusing or injecting a product, whereby in order to mold a housing shell () serving as a case for components of the administering device in a multi-component injection molding process at least one pre-molded, transparent insert part () made from a first plastic material is inserted in an injection mold molded to a shape matching the shape of the housing shell (), a dimensionally stable, curable second plastic material is injected into the injection mold around the insert part () to render it watertight and an opening left free in the second plastic material is closed to render it watertight by injecting on an elastomeric third plastic material.

Administering device with a multi-component injection-moulded housing

Administering device for infusing or injecting a product, comprising a housing () with a first housing shell () and a second housing shell (), a receiver () for the product formed in the housing (), a conveying mechanism () for conveying the product and a seal (), which connects the housing shells () to one another in a pressing contact rendering them watertight, which seal () is or has a sealing lip () which establishes the pressing contact with the first housing shell ().

Self-sealing connection for housing shells of an administering device

A drug reservoir loading and unloading mechanism for drug delivery device using unidirectional rotated lead screw and method thereof are disclosed. The drug reservoir loading/unloading mechanism allows exchanging the drug reservoir quickly with very few steps and with more safety. The invention neither requires rewinding of the drive system either automatically or manually while replacing the drug reservoir nor requires an additional adapter to secure the drug reservoir.

Drug reservoir loading and unloading mechanism for a drug delivery device using a unidirectional rotated shaft

A drug delivery device drive that includes a single shape memory alloy wire actuator to advance a lead screw via a ratcheting mechanism and method thereof are disclosed. In one embodiment, a shape memory alloy wire is operably connected to one of a pair of ratchet wheels and configured to drive incrementally the rotation of the connected ratchet wheel via a contraction, which in turn drives the rotation of the other ratchet wheel about a rotational axis which moves a lead screw and advances a plunger to dispense a liquid drug from a drug container. A drug delivery device using the shape memory alloy wire actuator in combination with the ratcheting mechanism to incrementally rotate a shaft, a lead screw or a sleeve provides for a more compact an less complicated design.

Lead screw delivery device using reusable shape memory actuator drive

Administering device for infusing or injecting a product, comprising a housing () with a receiver () for the product, a compartment () for a power source in order to supply the conveying mechanism () with electrical energy, a first contact spring () which is disposed in the compartment and places a terminal of the power source in an electrically conducting contact by means of a spring force when the power source is disposed in the compartment (), and a second contact spring () for establishing an electrically conducting contact for an opposite terminal of the power source, likewise by means of spring force.
