Abstract: A dose monitoring system for mounting on an injection pen having a body and a dose setting wheel defined at the end of the body. The dose monitoring system includes a magnet configured to be attached to an outer surface of the dose setting wheel, a housing configured to be attached to an outer surface of the body of the injection pen, the housing includes an integrated control unit and at least one magnetometer in electrical connection with the integrated control unit, the integrated control unit, when the housing is mounted on the injection pen, being configured to register at least one magnetic field sensed by the at least one magnetometer when the magnet co-rotates with the dose setting wheel during setting of a dose by a user on the injection pen, the integrated control unit being further configured, when the housing is mounted on the injection pen, to calculate a dose set by the user of the injection pen from the at least one magnetic field registered with the integrated control unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dose control system adapted for an injectable drug delivery device, the drug delivery device comprising a substantially elongate drug delivery body, at least one injectable drug held by the body, the body having a distal and proximal extremity, wherein the dose control system comprises three-dimensional magnetic field producing means for producing a magnetic field along three axes (x,y,z); magnetic field detection means configured to detect changes in at least the magnetic field produced by the three-dimensional magnetic field producing means; displacement detection means configured to measure a relative displacement or relative movement of the drug delivery device, and an integrated control unit, wherein the integrated control unit is connected to the magnetic field detection means, and to the displacement detection means, for processing information received from both the magnetic field detection means and the displacement detection means; wherein the three-dimensional magn

Abstract: A dose control device adapted to be removably mounted onto an exterior peripheral surface of an injectable drug delivery device, the drug delivery device including a substantially elongate drug delivery body, at least one injectable drug held by the body, the body having a distal and proximal extremity. The dose control device includes a first component configured to fit and substantially encase at least a portion of an exterior peripheral surface of the drug delivery device, and located at a proximal extremity of the drug delivery device; a second component configured to fit and substantially encase a corresponding remaining unencased portion of the exterior peripheral surface of the drug delivery device, and also located at a proximal extremity of the drug delivery device.
