Abstract
A drug delivery device including: a body and a movable component arranged inside the body, a dosage selection and injection mechanism setting the position of the movable component inside the body depending on a selected dosage, a non-contact sensor configured to output signals indicative of the position of the movable component inside the body, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive the signals output from the non-contact sensor and to determine based on the signals whether the movable component is either in an initial position inside the body corresponding to no selected dosage or in a selected dosage position. Upon determining that the movable component has changed its position back from the selected dosage position to the initial position, the processor is configured to cause an indication to be output which informs a user regarding a dwell time of the drug delivery device.
