Abstract: A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device, the supplemental device comprising: an imaging arrangement configured to capture an image of one or more numbers present on a moveable component of the injection device; and a processor arrangement configured to run a first algorithm to: receive data representing an image; determine the position of at least one number in the image by determining the boundaries of each visible number; select one of the visible numbers to be identified; perform a pattern matching process to identify the value of the selected number; and determine a dose dialled into the injection device using the determined position of the selected one of the at least one visible number in the image.

Abstract: A supplemental device (2) for attachment to a pen-type drug injection device, the supplemental device comprising an optical sensor array or camera (25) configured to capture an image of one or more numbers representing dose values on a dose dial sleeve of the injection device, and a processor (24) and memory (240,241) arrangement configured to run an algorithm to receive image data from the sensor/camera and extract the dialed dose value from said image via optical character recognition (OCR). The algorithm is able to determine the set dose value which is at the centre of the image (902), also if the dose scale only comprises integer values in steps of two (see FIG. 9).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring device for monitoring operation of a drug delivery device and to a respective drug delivery device, wherein the monitoring device comprises: a fastening member (32) to releasably attach the monitoring device to an axially elongated housing (14) of the drug delivery device (10), a sliding member (40) shiftable relative to the fastening member (32) in an axial direction (1, 2) and being adapted to operably engage with at least one dose setting component (17, 18, 26) of the drug delivery device (10) to follow an axial displacement of the dose setting component (17, 18, 26) relative to the housing component (14), a first sensor arrangement (36, 46) for detecting a rotation of the dose setting component (17, 18, 26) relative to the fastening member (32), a second sensor arrangement (38, 48) for detecting an axial displacement of the sliding member (40) relative to the fastening member (32), and a processing member (34) coupled to the first and to the second sensor a

Abstract: A data collection device is configured to capture images of a dosage indicator of a medicament delivery device and, if an injection is administered without prior confirmation of a dosage amount, to prompt the user to set a value for the delivered medicament dosage amount for storing in a dosage log. For example, the determination may be based on specific confirmation from the user or detecting a zero dosage amount in captured images. A suggested dosage amount may be displayed to the user, for example a highest or more recently programmed dosage amount prior to the injection or based on one or more previously confirmed dosage amounts. The data collection device may use one or more of optical character recognition, optical pattern recognition and determination of direction of rotation of a dosage adjustment component to determine whether an injection is being, or has been, administered and/or a suggested dosage amount.
