Fluid Delivery Device With Integrated Monitoring Of Physiological Characteristics
First Claim
1. A fluid delivery device (100) for attachment to the skin of a subject user, the delivery device comprising:
- a housing,a reservoir (111) adapted to contain a fluid and comprising, in a situation of use, associated transcutaneous access means (113) communicating, in a situation of use, with the interior of the reservoir (111) and adapted to penetrate the skin of the subject,expelling means (112) for expelling a fluid out of the reservoir (111) through the transcutaneous access means (113),first sensor elements (151) disposed on or in said housing and adapted for obtaining electric signals representative of ECG signals of said subject, andelectronic circuitry coupled to said first sensor elements (151) and adapted to measure, monitor, calculate, and/or store data related to said sensed ECG signals.

Abstract
The present application relates to a drug delivery device (100) for delivering liquids to a subject user. More specifically, the drug delivery device provides monitoring facilities of ECG related signals picked up by ECG sensor elements (151) incorporated in or on the housing (101) of the drug delivery device. Additional sensor elements (152) may be included in the drug delivery device to facilitate recording of additional physiological parameters. The drug delivery device may comprise storage capabilities or dedicated signal processing circuitry (120) for analyzing the received signals, and means for providing an output as a response to a detected physiological condition. Other aspects include an optional external device which may provide analyzing circuitry for presenting and displaying of sensor data or identified physiological conditions.
