Abstract: A portable medical data acquisition communication device stores tools necessary for personal therapy and establishing communication with at least some of the tools to read out information and/or with one or more external databases to transmit the information into the databases. The device includes a housing (100?) having a first half piece, a second half piece, a closing element, and electronics (110). The electronics include a power supply (111); a processor unit; a memory unit; at least one short-range communication device; at least one long-range communication device configured to communicate with the one or more external databases; a user interface (120); and at least one trigger signal generating element (123) configured to generate and transmit a trigger signal to the processor unit to effect wake-up or sleep of the electronics (110) when the two half pieces of said housing (100?) get into a certain distance to each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical data acquisition communication device (100), comprising a housing (100?) and electronics (110) arranged within the housing (100?), the electronics comprising a power supply (111); a processor unit (115); a memory unit (116); at least one short-range communication device (117); at least one long-range communication device (119); and a user interface (120) including at least one trigger signal generating element (123). A core of the invention is that the long range communication device is (i) configured for wired communication, or (ii) configured for GPRS-based GSM communication and also comprises a SIM card (118).

Abstract: A data acquisition device (100) that can be detachably connected to an actuator member (205) of a drug delivery device (200) includes a detector unit having a sensor element configured to detect an actuation action to be performed on an actuator member (205) to dispense at least a portion of a drug contained within the drug delivery device. A push-button (120) is configured to exert the actuation action, wherein the sensor element (132) detects pressing the push-button (120) as part of the actuation action. An electronic subassembly (130) includes a power source (134) and is connected to the sensor element (132) and to the power source (134). The electronic subassembly (130) is configured to store at least a piece of information related to the detected actuation action and to transmit said piece(s) of information in compliance with an actual charge level of the power source (134).
