Smart reusable accessory for manual medication delivery device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918789B2) discloses a reusable accessory designed for manual medication delivery devices. The accessory includes a processor and computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that enable it to receive analyte measurement data from a sensor system, detect dosing events, store data related to these events, track time post-dosing, and provide medication dose recommendations based on the data and time elapsed since dosing. The accessory can be adapted to couple with the medication delivery device, communicate wirelessly with the sensor system, and detect dosing events using detection circuitry or sensors. It is particularly suited for medication injection pens, with a reusable pen cap being a possible configuration.
Moreover, the patent also outlines a method for managing medication therapy using a manual medication delivery device, involving receiving analyte data, detecting dosing events, storing relevant data, tracking time post-dosing, and providing dose recommendations based on the data and time elapsed. The method includes detecting capping or decapping events, utilizing sensors for dosing event detection, and communicating data with mobile devices. Additionally, a feature of the accessory involves determining the duration of time it is coupled to the medication delivery device, providing dose recommendations based on this duration, and issuing notifications for dosing events detected within specific time thresholds. This innovative approach aims to enhance medication management and therapy adherence for users of manual medication delivery devices, particularly medication injection pens, by leveraging data-driven recommendations and timely notifications.
