A smart dosing device includes: a supply pathway having a compartment that is able to house multiple discrete doses of a substance; at least one sensor that captures identifying information related to the substance; a wireless communication module; and at least one security feature that restricts use of the smart dosing device. A method of providing a measured dose using a smart dosing device includes: retrieving a discrete dose from a storage cavity of the smart dosing device; and providing the discrete dose via an outlet port of the device. A smart dosing system includes: a smart dosing device having a unique identifier, the smart dosing device including a cartridge housing multiple discrete doses of a substance, the cartridge having a unique cartridge identifier; and a server including a central database that stores usage information related to the smart dosing device including the unique identifier and the unique cartridge identifier.

The present invention provides a drug injection device (1) for delivering multiple doses of drug, comprising: a housing (2) extending along a main axis, a dose expelling mechanism comprising a piston rod (60) configured to move relative to the housing (2) from a first position to a second position to cause ejection of a dose of drug, the piston rod (60) extending between a proximal piston rod end and a distal piston rod end and comprising a dosing track (63), the piston rod (60) further being movable relative to the housing (2) from an initial pre-use position to a final end stop position to cause accumulated ejection of a predefined total dose, a dosing track follower (17) fixed with respect to the housing (2) and adapted to travel the dosing track (63) during dose ejection, a dose setting mechanism operable to set the dose to be ejected by the dose expelling mechanism, electronic means (82, 90, 91, 92, 95) for registering a dose setting operation and for registering a dose size of an ejected dose, and a display (81) adapted to indicate a size of a current set dose, the electronic means (82, 90, 91, 92, 95) being configured to provide a first type of update of the display (81) responsive to dose changing operations of the dose setting mechanism, wherein the electronic means (82, 90, 91, 92, 95) is further configured to calculate a current accumulated dose from the dose sizes of registered ejected doses to thereby provide an updated value of a total amount of drug ejected, determine a current remaining dose by comparing the current accumulated dose and the predefined total dose, and provide a second type of update of the display (81) when during a dose increasing operation of the dose setting mechanism the current set dose exceeds the current remaining dose, the second type of update being different from the first type of update, and wherein the final end stop position is defined by a track end configuration of the dosing track (63) between the proximal piston rod end and the distal piston rod end.

An example injector includes a rotary knob for selecting a function and setting a dosing quantity for an injection, a button located on an end of the rotary knob for initiating the injection, an electric motor, an encoder for evaluating output rotary motion of the motor, and a processor that converts the dosing quantity into a number of encoder pulses and controls operation of the motor based on the number of encoder pulses when dosage is triggered. The injector also includes a transmission coupled to the electric motor to convert a speed of the motor, a threaded spindle coupled to the transmission that moves linearly based on the output rotary motion of the motor at the speed as converted by the transmission, and a punch connected to an end of the threaded spindle. The linear movement of the spindle causes the punch to release medicament.
