Abstract
A medication delivery device is disclosed having a dose detection system and an associated control system configured to determine an amount of medication delivered from the medication delivery device based on the sensing of relative rotation within the medication delivery device. The relative rotation may occur between a dose setting member and an actuator and/or housing of the medication delivery device. The rotation sensing may involve sliding contact sensing. A latch circuit may be coupled between the rotational sensor and the controller. The dose detection system may be a modular or integral component of the medication delivery device.
