AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, problems arise when turning the number sleeve above a certain speed
When this happens, the numbers displayed in the window appear blurred to the secondary device, preventing the secondary device from gathering information about the amount of insulin dialed or dispensed

Embodiment Construction

[0044] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to an insulin injection device. However, the invention is not limited to this application, but can be used equally well with injection devices or other kinds of medical devices that dispense other medicaments.

[0045] figure 1 is an exploded view of an injection device 10 such as may represent the Solostar sold by Sanofi TM injection pen.

[0046] figure 1 The injection device 10 of the present invention is a prefilled disposable injection pen comprising a housing 12 and containing an insulin container 14 to which a needle 16 is attached. The needle 16 is protected by an inner needle cap 18 and an outer needle cap 20 which is in turn covered by a cap 22 . The dose of insulin expelled from the injection device 10 may be selected by turning the dose knob 24 (this action may be referred to as dialing the insulin dose). Features such as symbols, including numbers 26 representing the selected d...

Abstract

A supplemental device for gathering information concerning the use of an injection device, the supplemental device comprising: a first camera sensor portion for generating a first camera output indicative of a scene in the field of view of the first camera sensor portion; a second camera sensor portion for generating a second camera output indicative of a scene in the field of view of the second camera sensor portion; and at least one processor configured: to use the first camera output to determine whether a rotational speed of an object in the field of view exceeds a threshold speed; if it is determined the rotational speed of the object does not exceed the threshold speed, to process the second camera output to identify a feature provided on the or another object; and if it is determined the rotational speed of the object does exceed the threshold speed, to refrain from attempting to identify the feature.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for collecting information related to the use of an injection device, particularly but not exclusively to an auxiliary device for collecting information related to the use of an injection device for injecting a medicament such as insulin. Background technique [0002] There are various diseases that require regular treatment by injecting medicaments. Such injections can be performed by medical personnel or by the patients themselves. As an example, type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be treated by the patient himself by injecting one or several daily doses of insulin. It is known to couple auxiliary devices to insulin injection devices for recording information relating to doses delivered. The auxiliary device can be used to record information about the different times insulin doses are delivered and the amount of insulin delivered during each such dose. [0003] A previously proposed insulin injection device, sp...
