Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to an injection device including a medicament reservoir configured to store a medicament to be expelled by the injection device, and an acoustic source configured to generate an acoustic signal including information indicative of an amount of the medicament stored in the medicament reservoir. The acoustic signal is transmitted to an external device configured to process the acoustic signal and to extract injection device data.

Acoustic detection of a usage of an injection device

A dose recording device for a drug delivery device, wherein the drug delivery device comprises a housing, a cartridge holder configured to receive a cartridge for holding a plurality of doses of a drug, and a dose setting member connected to the housing and configured to set the dose of the drug, is disclosed. The dose recording device comprises a device housing and a measurement system having an optical sensor connected to a portion of the device housing. The device housing is configured to be mounted to the dose setting member. The measurement system is configured to detect a relative movement of the device housing to the housing by means of the optical sensor and to store relative movement data so as to provide information on a delivery of the dose of the drug.

Dose recording device

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to an injection device () including a medicament reservoir () configured to store a medicament to be expelled by the injection device (), an acoustic source () configured to generate an acoustic signal including information indicative of an amount of the medicament stored in the medicament reservoir (), the acoustic signal being transmitted to an external device () configured to process the acoustic signal and to extract injection device data.

A data collection device comprises: a first portion having one or more features configured for attaching of the first portion to a dosage knob of an injection device; a second portion rotatably coupled with the first portion, wherein at least part of the second portion is movable axially relative to the first portion; a sensor arrangement configured to detect rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion; and a processor arrangement configured to, based on said detected movement, determine a medicament amount expelled by the injection device, wherein the coupling arrangement is configured to provide a non-permanent coupling between the first portion and the dosage knob of the injection device.

Data collection apparatus for attachment to an injection device

A data collection device including an attachment assembly for attaching the data collection device to a dose setting dial of a medicament administration device, a light source configured to illuminate a portion of a surface of an internal component of the medicament administration device including a pattern of relatively reflective and non-reflecting regions formed on the surface of the internal component, and an optical sensor configured to receive light reflected by at least the relatively reflective regions.

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to an injection device including: a reservoir including a wall defining a proximal end, a distal end and a tubular side, a plunger rod configured to be movable within the reservoir in a direction from the distal end to the proximal end, a radio frequency (RF) antenna attached to the tubular side and configured to receive an interrogation signal from an external device, and a resonating assembly configured to receive the interrogation signal from the RF antenna and to generate a modulated RF signal having a frequency associated with a position of the plunger rod.

Transmission of data associated with an injection device usage using passive RF modulation

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to conserving energy of an injection device by using a sensor attached to the housing, the sensor configured to detect a signal associated with an amount of medicament within the injection device and to generate a sensor signal based on the signal, a control component coupled to the sensor, the control component configured to harvest energy to process the sensor signal and to generate injection device data, and an antenna coupled to the control component and configured to transmit a radio frequency signal based on the injection device data.

Collection of injection device data using energy harvested from an external device

A data collection device comprising an attachment assembly for attaching the data collection device to a dose setting dial of a medicament administration device, a light source configured to illuminate a portion of a surface of an internal component of the medicament administration device including a pattern of relatively reflective and non-reflecting regions formed on the surface of the internal component, and an optical sensor configured to receive light reflected by at least the relatively reflective regions.
