Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, OCR requires such high processing power that it enables data processing on small monitoring devices and may require an external processing power supply for boost, which introduces additional complexity and manufacturing cost
In addition, the cameras used must provide a particularly high level of sharpness for use in OCR software, which introduces significant camera hardware costs, which can be prohibitive, while the associated optics are also complex and necessarily expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0061] Such as Figure 1-7 As shown, a first embodiment of an intelligent monitoring device for automatically monitoring drug (insulin) injections is indicated generally by reference number 1 . In this embodiment, the monitoring device 1 is retrofitted to a standard, conventional, and commercially available insulin pen 2 of the type widely known in the art. However, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the monitoring device may be incorporated into the insulin pen during manufacture, if desired.

[0062] A conventional insulin pen 2 generally consists of a pen body 2 containing a needle and a plunger for depressing the needle at one end of the insulin pen 2 (not shown), a cap 4 for protecting the needle, and a A rotatable dose selector 5 at the other end constitutes. A rotatable dose selector 5 surrounds a button 6 protruding from the insulin pen 2 in a conventional manner. The dose selector 5 and button 6 together define the figure 1 and 5 The arrows in th...

Abstract

A smart monitoring device (1) for automatically monitoring the injection of medicines such as insulin which can be retrofitted to a conventional insulin pen in which the device (1) has an optical motion sensor (9) for detecting actuation of the injection pen (2) together with an optional accelerometer sensor (46), medicament temperature (sensor 45) and mounting sensors (40, 44), the monitoring device (1) being communicable with external smart devices such as smartphones.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring device, and more particularly to a device for monitoring and managing the injection of a drug, such as insulin, and to an injection device incorporating such a monitoring device. Background technique [0002] Individuals diagnosed with some chronic disease are usually prescribed medication by a physician, which must be injected at regular intervals. Usually, patients are required to inject the drug themselves. One of the most common self-injecting medications is insulin, which is prescribed in the treatment of diabetes. [0003] In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the monitoring device of the present invention and the injection device incorporating the monitoring device will be described in relation to diabetic patients and insulin injection pens used by these patients. However, as those skilled in the art appreciate, the problems faced by insulin users are becoming more prevalent f...
