MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE AND A DOSAGE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device comprising: a reservoir for medicament; a dispensing mechanism operable to dispense medicament from the reservoir, the dispensing mechanism comprising a sleeve configured to rotate during the dispensing of medicament and having a plurality of formations at an end of the sleeve; and a dosage measurement system comprising at least one mechanically actuated sensor configured such that, in use, rotation of the sleeve causes successive formations to engage the sensor such that the sensor detects rotation of the sleeve and a processor configured to determine a dosage dispensed from the medicament reservoir based on the detected rotation of the sleeve.
MEDICATION DELIVERY DEVICE WITH SENSING SYSTEM
Medication delivery devices are provided having a housing comprising a reservoir sized sufficiently to hold medication, a dose button being rotatable relative to the housing to select a dose size of the medication for an injection, a printed circuit board, a switch mounted to the printed circuit board, and a controller in communication with the switch. The controller is configured to generate a first count of a set of signals using a first counting technique, generate a second count of the set of signals using a second counting technique, and determine, based on the first and second count, reliability data of the first and/or second count. The controller can connect, using a wireless communication module, to a remote computing device to wirelessly communicate with the remote computing device over an unencrypted wireless communication channel, and transmit, using the wireless communication module, encrypted data to the remote computing device.
REMOTE CONFIGURATION OF A RESPIRATORY DEVICE
The present technology relates to systems and/or methods for enabling a respiratory device to be configured when a clinician or healthcare professional is remote from the respiratory device. One form provides a method of configuring a respiratory device, the respiratory device comprising a processor configured to control operation of the respiratory device in accordance with a plurality of operating parameters. The method comprises determining a combination of settings for the device from an identifier sent to the device, the identifier corresponding to the combination of settings, and configuring the respiratory device accordingly. Another form provides a method of verifying the configuration of the respiratory device by outputting an identifier corresponding to the combination of settings for the device, and determining the settings from the identifier.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING USER INTERACTION WITH A RESPIRATORY THERAPY DEVICE
Disclosed are apparatus and methods of detecting user interaction with a respiratory therapy device and effecting an action in response to the detection. The apparatus comprises a sensor which is positioned so as to detect the presence of a user's hand or fingers near to the apparatus, such as a surface or handle. In embodiments the apparatus may be configured to detect gestures or movement of the user. On detection of a user, the apparatus may be configured to effect one or more actions, such as disabling a feature of an input or output device or alerting a user.
APPLICATION TO GUIDE MASK FITTING
A respiratory pressure therapy system for providing continuous positive air pressure to a patient via a patient interface configured to engage with at least one airway of the patient. The system includes: a flow generator configured to generate supply of breathable gas for delivery to the patient via the patient interface; at least one sensor; a display; and a computing device. The computing device is configured to: receive sensor data that is based on measured physical property of the supply of breathable gas; control, based on the received sensor data, the flow generator to adjust a property of the supply of breathable gas; receive, an input indicating assistance is needed with using the patient interface; receive one or more images of the patient with the patient interface; analyse the received one or more images; and based on the analysis, display instructions for positioning the patient interface.
SUPPORTING / HOLDING DEVICE WITH AN INTELLIGENT COVER FOR MEDICAL FLUID PUMPS
A supporting or holding device for the position-safe holding of one or more medical fluid pumps during operation. The supporting or holding device has a basic body and a plurality of vertically spaced trays that project from a front side of the basic body. Each vertically spaced tray is adapted to receive a medical fluid pump. The supporting or holding device includes, at an uppermost end, an intelligent cover for the centralized representation of alarm(s) of the one or more medical fluid pumps.
AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE
An aerosol generating device includes a heater that heats an aerosol generating substrate, a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the heater, and a controller that controls power supplied to the heater through a power signal such that the heater is heated within a preset temperature range, filters the power signal, and detects a user's puff based on the filtered power signal. Accordingly, the aerosol generating device according to the present disclosure may more accurately detect a user's puff.

The operational parameters of a respiratory apparatus can be controlled through the use of a user interface located on a separate or separable mobile computing device. Sensors or features located on the mobile computing apparatus can be used to adjust the operation parameters or therapy of the respiratory apparatus or otherwise improve the compliance of a patient utilizing the respiratory apparatus.
Injection pen
An injection pen, comprising a housing, a lead screw axially moveable in the housing, a dose set member for dose setting and dose correcting, threadably connected to the housing and having a first mating feature, a setback member having a second mating feature for engaging the first mating feature, a clicker that generates an audible or tactile indication during operation, the clicker being operatively connected to the dose set member, and a push button operatively connected to the setback member to cause the second mating feature to engage the first mating feature during an injection, the push button receiving the clicker, wherein the first mating feature is disengaged from the second mating feature during the dose setting and the dose correcting and engaged with the second mating feature during the injection.
Calibrated dose control
Methods and vaporizer apparatuses that estimate, measure and/or predict the amount of vapor and/or material (including active ingredients) released by the vaporizer apparatus. In particular, described herein are electronic vaporizers and methods of using them that determine a dose/amount of vapor and/or a material in the vapor based primarily or exclusively on the electrical and thermal properties, e.g., power or energy applied to the vaporizing element (e.g., heating coil) and the temperature of the material immediately before and as it is vaporized. Dose information may be used to control operation of the device and/or reported to the user.
