Abstract
An apparatus including a control unit, a sensor arrangement configured to measure the fill level of a medicament within a container of a drug delivery device, and a cap sensor configured to detect at least partial removal of a cap from the drug delivery device is described. The control unit is configured to be awoken from a dormant state in response to detection by the cap sensor that the cap has been at least partially removed from the drug delivery device. The sensor arrangement is configured to start measurement of the fill level subsequent to the control unit being awoken from the dormant state.
