Abstract: A method of detecting and/or tracking use of a drug delivery device is disclosed. The drug delivery device includes a machine readable code and a visual indicator, and has pre-use and used states, such that use of the drug delivery device triggers a transition from the pre-use to the used state. The visual indicator has a first state when the drug delivery device is in the pre-use state and a different second state when the drug delivery device is in the used state. The method includes enabling a user device having an image sensor to capture an image of the drug delivery device, determining, by the user device processor from the captured image, whether the visual indicator of the drug delivery device is in the second state, and obtaining, by the processor, information from the machine readable code when the visual indicator is determined to be in the second state.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for updating identification information of a user with service providers. An embodiment operates by a computing device sending a first piece of identification information describing a user to a service provider requiring a credential to update a user profile unique to the user. Upon receiving an indication that the piece of identification information sufficiently describes the user, the computing device generates an identifier unique to the particular user to identify the user when the computing device communicates with the service provider. Thereafter, the computing device sends an instruction to the service provider to update their user profile with a second piece of identification information. With the request, the computing device sends the identifier unique to the user, which allows the service provider to bypass the user credential and update the user profile with the second piece of identification information.
