Abstract: In general, systems for administering a dmg are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a dmg administration system includes a dmg administration device configured to communicate with a computer system and at least one sensor configured to obtain sensor data and communicate the sensor data to the drug administration device. The dmg administration device is configured to utilize a first drug dosing scheme when a drug is delivered to a patient, determine a second drug dosing scheme for delivering a drug to the patient dependent on dosing data from the computer system and sensor data collected by the sensor during and/or after the delivery of the first drug according to the first drug dosing scheme, and utilize the second drug dosing scheme when the drug is delivered to the patient.

Abstract: In general, drug administration devices configured to communicate with networks and external devices are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device is configured to adjust an operational parameter of the drug administration device based on a data packet formed from drug administration data ancillary data received from networks and/or external devices. In another example embodiment, a drug administration device is configured to scan for and establish communications with at least one external device. In another example embodiment, a method includes assessing whether to update a control program on a drug administration device from a network or external device. In another example embodiment, a system includes a first drug administration device configured to communicate with a second drug administration device to optimize a drug treatment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to drug administration. In an exemplary embodiment, a system can include a drug administration device configured to dispense a drug to a patient, a monitoring device configured to log a delivery event of drug delivery from the drug administration device into the patient, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter following delivery of the drug into the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device can include a drug holder configured to hold a drug, a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense the drug, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter, and the drug administration device can be configured to locally activate the drug at a target location in the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, methods, devices, and systems are provided to assess when operation of a drug dispensing mechanism is complete and to confirm whether drug administration was successful.

Abstract: In general, interconnection of drug administration systems is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device and a remotely located server can establish a unique key for wireless communication between the device and the server. The drug administration device can be configured to sense information relating to at least one of the device and a drug and can be configured to anonymize data indicative of the sensed information using the key stored in memory of the device. The drug administration device can also be configured to use the key in decrypting data received from the server.

Abstract: Drug delivery systems and methods are provided for monitoring and/or tracking exposure of a drug to one or more conditions that can affect performance of the drug.
