Abstract
The present invention relates to a device, system and a method for optimizing syringe based drug delivery profile with a treatment element and in particular, to such a device, system and method in which optimization is based on a plurality of data that directly and/or indirectly affect the optimization of the drug delivery profile. The device facilitating syringe based drug delivery, by optimizing drug delivery of the injected drug, records user's activity, and data relative to drug injections, comprising a disposable unit configured for a single use period and a rechargeable reusable unit having electronics comprising a sensor module.
Core Innovation
The invention is a device for facilitating drug delivery with a syringe based device that optimizes delivery of an injected drug and records activity and data relative to the drug injections while the drug is administered. The device includes a disposable unit configured for a single use period in which the disposable unit is rendered non-functional after the single use period.
The disposable unit includes a lower surface having a biocompatible adhesive with removable laminate for coupling the disposable unit over an area of skin defining an injection area. The disposable unit also has at least one connector for coupling with a reusable unit and an activating member configured to activate the reusable unit.
The reusable unit has electronics comprising a control module, a memory module, a power supply module, a communication module, a contactless communication module, a treatment element module, and a sensor module. The power supply module comprises a rechargeable energy source that may be replenished with a base station unit for charging the power supply.
The disposable unit comprises two surfaces and a member connecting an end of one of the surfaces to an end of the other of the surfaces, and the device integrates recorded activity and data relative to drug injections to optimize the injected drug delivery while the drug is administered at the injection area.
Claims Coverage
The independent claim recites 5 core inventive features.
Optimizing syringe based drug delivery with recorded injection-related activity and data
A device for facilitating drug delivery with a syringe based device, wherein the device optimizes the delivery of an injected drug and records activity and data relative to said drug injections while the drug is administered.
Single-use disposable unit with biocompatible adhesive laminate for an injection area
A disposable unit configured for a single use period characterized in that said disposable unit is rendered non-functional after said single use period, the disposable unit comprising a lower surface having a biocompatible adhesive with removable laminate for coupling said disposable unit over an area of skin defining an injection area.
Reusable electronics unit coupled via connector and activation to the disposable unit
A reusable unit having electronics comprising control module, memory module, power supply module, communication module, contactless communication module, treatment element module and sensor module, wherein the disposable unit having at least one connector for coupling with said reusable unit and an activating member configured to activate said reusable unit.
Rechargeable power replenished with a base station unit for charging
The power supply module comprises a rechargeable energy source that may be replenished with a base station unit for charging said power supply.
Disposable unit two-surface structure with connecting member
The disposable unit comprises two surfaces and a member connecting an end of one of the surfaces to an end of the other of the surfaces.
Claim coverage is grounded in the combination of optimization and recording of activity and data during syringe-based drug injection, a disposable single-use adhesive unit for an injection area, a reusable electronics unit with specified modules, rechargeable operation with base-station charging, and a two-surface disposable unit structure with a connecting member.
Stated Advantages
Optimizes the delivery of an injected drug.
Records activity and data relative to drug injections while the drug is administered.
Documented Applications
Facilitating and optimizing syringe based drug delivery by using a disposable unit coupled to an injection area of skin and a reusable electronics unit that records injection-related activity and data while administering an injected drug.
