Abstract
A compliance monitoring system is provided for an injection device having an unused state and a used state. The system includes one or more radio frequency tags attached to a surface of the injection device and a portable monitoring accessory that includes a housing, a radio frequency antenna disposed within the housing, a wireless transmitter module disposed within the housing, and a processing circuit disposed within the housing. The processing circuit is configured to receive, via the radio frequency antenna, a first signal from the one or more radio frequency tags via a radio frequency communication protocol. The processing circuit is also configured to transmit, via the wireless transmitter, a second signal to a mobile device via a wireless communication protocol different from the radio frequency communication protocol. Both of the first signal and the second signal include state information of the injection device.
