Abstract: A sensor device to be attached to a drug delivery device includes an array of conducting elements each forming part of a respective resonant circuit and each operable to have a signal applied to it. The drug delivery device has a first movable element supporting a conductive region, which is configured to move along a path parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drug delivery device. When the sensor device is attached to the drug delivery device, the conducting elements are arranged such that each resonant circuit is operable to output a signal indicative of the proximity of the conductive region supported on the first moveable element to the respective conducting element of each resonant circuit. The sensor device includes circuitry to receive the signals output from the resonant circuit and, based on the received signals, determines information associated with a location along the path of the first movable element.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to be arranged within a housing of an injection device and for detecting a manipulation of the injection device comprises a cam part that is configured to be rotatable relative to a follower part; a resilient member arranged to urge the cam part and the follower part towards abutment with each other wherein rotation of the cam part relative to the follower part causes reciprocating motion of the follower part, wherein the follower part is configured to move reciprocally in an axial direction of the injection device; and a contact sensor provided between the cam part and the follower part and configured to detect the reciprocating motion of the follower part. The cam part comprises a profiled section comprising an axially varying profile arranged to be in abutment with the follower part and configured to cause reciprocating motion of the follower part.
