A system and method for promoting enhanced healing of a medical patient includes a patient room having accommodations for the medical patient, a central computer connected to a media server, a main display located in the patient room, the main display connected to the central computer and including at least a navigation pane and a content pane, an audio system connected to the central computer and capable of providing sound to the patient room, and a remote unit directly accessible to the medical patient, the remote unit having a capability to control the central computer and a content of the main display and a content of the audio system.

An autoinjector having a piston rod for a piston of a reservoir, the piston rod movable between a primed position and an injection position; an injection spring urging the piston rod towards its injection position; and an injection lock including a control sleeve containing the piston rod and the injection spring. The piston rod includes a radial recess receiving a substantially-spherical blocking element movable between a blocking and unblocking position and urged radially outwards by the piston rod and held in its blocking position by a blocking ring; and a support member fastened in the control sleeve and having a ring with an axial end in contact with the injection spring, the other axial end supports the blocking element. The blocking ring is engaged on the support member and disengaged by the control sleeve.

The present invention relates to a supplementary device for a manually operable injection device. The device has a body and a mating unit configured to releasably mount the body to the injection device in a specific position relative to an outside surface of the injection device.

A compliance monitoring module for a breath-actuated inhaler comprising: a miniature pressure sensor, a sensor port of said sensor being pneumatically coupled to a flow channel through which a user can inhale; a processor configured to: receive a signal originating from a dosing mechanism of the inhaler indicating that medication has been released; receive data from a sensing element of the sensor; and based on said signal from said dosing mechanism and said data from said sensing element, make a determination that inhalation of a breath containing medication through said flow channel complies with one or more predetermined requirements for successful dosing; and a transmitter configured to, responsive to said determination, issue a dosing report.

An administration system for delivery of a pharmaceutical composition to a patient has a delivery device configured to deliver a dose of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient and a notification device in communication with the delivery device. The notification device is configured to communicate information about a status of at least one property of the delivery device. The delivery device is a wearable automatic injector configured to be worn on the patient's skin. A delivery device of the present disclosure allows a user or patient to view the status of a container. For example, a delivery device of the present disclosure provides a simple and effective visual means of displaying fill confirmation and delivery confirmation.

A medical delivery device (1; 10) comprises a rod element (3; 30), a dosage member (6; 60) and a lock mechanism. The rod element (3; 30) has a stem (31; 310) with a longitudinal axis (38; 380), a distal end and a proximal end. The dosage member (6; 60) comprises a delivery orifice (62; 620) and a chamber body (61; 610) with a distal end, a proximal end and a hollow interior. The stem (31; 310) of the rod element (3; 30) extends into the interior of the chamber body (61; 610) of the dosage member (6; 60) and the delivery orifice (62; 620) is arranged adjacent to the proximal end of the stem (31; 310) of the rod element (3; 30). In a dosing status of the medical delivery device (1; 10), the rod element (3; 30) is movable along its longitudinal axis (38; 380) relative to the delivery orifice (62; 620) of the dosage member (6; 60), such that a dosage chamber (611; 6110) is formed in the interior of the chamber body (61; 610) of the dosage member (6; 60) between the stem (31; 310) of the rod element (3; 30) and the delivery orifice (62; 620) which dosage chamber (611; 6110) increases when the rod element (3; 30) moves away from the delivery orifice (62; 620). The lock mechanism (530; 2410) is adapted for changing the medical delivery device (1; 10) from a lock status to the dosing status, wherein, in the lock status of the medical delivery device (1; 10), moving the rod element (3; 30) along its longitudinal axis (38; 380) relative to the delivery orifice (62; 620) of the dosage member (6; 60) is prevented.
