Patent number: 11690959Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to devices, systems and methods for measuring a volume or number of doses remaining in a drug delivery device that is used for delivering a dose to a patient. In some embodiments, a dose measurement system for measuring the liquid volume in a container includes a light guide disposed and configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation toward the container. The dose measurement system also includes a light guide disposed and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation into the light guide. A plurality of sensors are located in the apparatus that are optically coupleable to the light guide and are disposed and configured to detect the electromagnetic radiation emitted by at least a portion of the light guide. The apparatus also includes a processing unit configured to receive data representing the portion of the detected electromagnetic radiation from each of the plurality of sensors.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: BIGFOOT BIOMEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Kevin Sihlanick, Richard Whalley, Matthew Legrand, James White, Jeffrey Carothers
