Abstract: Intelligent (smart) tracking accessories for a medicine dispensing device, such as an injection pen or pen device, are described. A smart tracking accessory in the form of a smart cap for a medicine dispensing device, such as an insulin pen, is configured to protect the needle of the dispensing device and the medicine contained therein when the device is not in use. The smart cap may detect the presence of the medicine dispensing device, detect an activation event such as removal from the medicine dispensing device, inform the user whether it is safe to administer a therapeutic dose of medicine, and log occurrence of the dosing event.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for tracking delivery of medication. In one aspect, a medication delivery tracking device can interface with and be physically placed on a medication delivery pen device. The medication delivery tracking device can detect an occurrence of a delivery of a medication by the medication delivery pen device. In some implementations, the medication delivery tracking device can detect a dose amount of the medication delivered by the medication delivery pen device.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for a prescription-regulated software application and an associated medical device. In some aspects, a smart medicine-injection device (e.g., smart insulin pen) is configured to be in communication with a patient's companion device (e.g., smartphone) having a software application (prescription app) that serves the patient as a complimentary medical device to the smart medicine-injection device, in which only certain features and functionalities of the prescription app are fully operable based on device pairing with the smart medicine-injection device to unlock medical device capabilities only available to the patient through prescription.

Abstract: A method of infusing liquid medicaments including insulin via an insulin pump, includes identifying an insulin delivery protocol associated with ingestion of carbohydrates wherein the insulin delivery protocol is likely to lead to a postprandial drop in blood glucose to a level below a basal level, then proposing at least one alternative insulin delivery protocol to inhibit the postprandial drop in blood glucose by delivering a metered amount of insulin that is appropriate to facilitate the metabolism of the carbohydrates without the postprandial blood glucose level drop. The invention further includes querying the patient as to whether to apply the alternative insulin delivery protocol, receiving instructions from the patient in response to the query, and applying the alternative insulin delivery protocol following receiving instructions from the patient to apply the alternative insulin delivery protocol.

Abstract: Provided is a system for delivering and recording a dose of a medicament to a patient. Also provided is a method of administering a medicament to a patient Additionally provided is a method of tracking usage of a medicament by a patient through a pen.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, a system includes an injection pen device in communication with a mobile communication device having a software application to determine a recommended dose based on prior dose data, analyte data, and nutrient data and to generate a report illustrative of a relationship between the medicine data, the health data, and the contextual data.

Abstract: A portable insulin pump can integrate and display data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to allow a user to more readily determine whether any interaction with the pump is necessary. Data from the CGM can automatically be transmitted to the pump and can be displayed for user analysis or automatically analyzed to present recommendations to the user based on combined data from the CGM and the pump.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for administering a medicament to a patient. In one aspect, a system includes an injection pen device in wireless communication with a mobile communication device. The injection pen device includes a housing including a chamber to encase a cartridge containing medicine, a dose setting and dispensing mechanism to set the mechanism to dispense a particular dose of the medicine from the loaded cartridge, a sensor unit to detect a dispensed dose based on positions and/or movements of the dose setting and dispensing mechanism, and an electronics unit in communication with the sensor unit to process the detected dispensed dose and time data associated with a dispensing event and to wirelessly transmit the dose data to a user's device. The mobile communication device provides a software application to provide the user with health information using the processed dose data.

Abstract: Provided is a system for delivering and recording a dose of a medicament to a patient. Also provided is a method of administering a medicament to a patient. Additionally provided is a method of tracking usage of a medicament by a patient through a pen.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, a method includes receiving one or more analyte values associated with a health condition of the patient user; receiving contextual data associated with the patient user obtained by the mobile computing device, where the obtained contextual data includes information associated with a meal; determining a medicine metric value associated with an amount of medicine active in the body of the patient user; autonomously calculating a dose of the medicine without input from the user based at least on the one or more analyte values, the medicine metric value, and the information associated with a meal; and continuously displaying the calculated dose of the medicine.
