At least one sensor may be configured to produce at least one respective signal in response to sensing a vibration, a sound, light, movement, and a magnetic field, respectively, produced by the drug-injection device due to an activity of the drug-injection device.

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.

Abstract: A therapeutic treatment device, system and method for improving administration of a temperature sensitive drug into a tissue on the body of a patient at a drug injection site are disclosed. The device includes a treatment element with a controllable heating element in temperature communicative contact with the tissue adjacent to the drug injection site. The controllable heating element is configured to heat the tissue adjacent to the drug injection site to a controllable temperature but does not heat the injected drug above a predetermined limiting temperature, above which degradation of the injected drug may occur.

Abstract: A device and method for delivering a therapeutic substance to the body of a mammal may include a pump adapter, a pump, and an infusion set having a distal connector and a proximal connector. The proximal connector and the pump adapter have connecting electrical contacts which can be connected to one another in a single action when the proximal connector and pump are being secured to the pump adapter. The distal connector of the infusion set can be connected to a catheter housing, which can be secured to the mammal's skin. The distal connector and the catheter housing have additional connecting electrical contacts which can be connected to one another in a single action when connecting the distal connector to the catheter housing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present systems, methods and devices relate to delivering a drug subcutaneously to a patient. For example, a subcutaneous drug delivery device for use in delivering a drug subcutaneously to a patient can include a needle or cannula configured for delivery of a drug from a drug reservoir to a subcutaneous tissue of a patient.

Abstract: A method and a device for a delivery of a chemical substance to the body of the patient are provided. The device includes an infusion catheter configured to be inserted into a tissue, a catheter securing element configured to be adhered to the skin of the patient and further configured to secure the infusion catheter to the skin, a drug delivery pump configured to infuse a drug into the infusion catheter for delivery to a drug infused region on the body of the patient, and a treatment element configured to apply a treatment to the drug infused region to improve pharmacodynamics of the drug during a period of delivery of the drug to the patient.

Abstract: An apparatus and a system for controlling and/or managing administration of a drug to a body of a patient. The apparatus includes a drug infusion device configured to deliver drug at a predetermined location in the body of the patient, at least one sensor disposed in the drug infusion device and configured to measure a. corresponding property related to the patient and selected from the group consisting of physiological properties, biochemical properties, environmental properties and drug-related properties, a controller disposed in the drug infusion device and configured to receive from the at least one sensor data representative of the measured corresponding property and based on the received data, determine a drug delivery rate. The drug delivery device is configured to deliver the drug to the body of the patient based on the determined drug delivery rate.
