MEDICAL INJECTOR WITH COMPLIANCE TRACKING AND MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- manipulating an electronics housing coupled to a medicament delivery device such that a first portion of the electronics housing initiates delivery of a medicament from a medicament container that is at least partially disposed within a container housing of the medicament delivery device via a delivery member and a second portion of the electronics housing moves at least one of a switch or a sensor; and
outputting, from an electronic circuit system, an electronic signal in response to the movement of the switch or the sensor, the electronic signal being a short-range radio frequency signal.

Abstract
A system includes a medicament delivery device and a container configured to receive at least a portion of the medicament delivery device. The medicament delivery device includes an actuator and a first electronic circuit system. The actuator is configured to initiate delivery of a medicament into a body when the actuator is moved from a first position to a second position. The first electronic circuit system is configured to output a first electronic signal when the actuator is moved from the first position to the second position. The container includes a second electronic circuit system configured to receive the first electronic signal. The second electronic circuit system is configured to output a second electronic signal associated with the first electronic signal.

4. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an electronics housing defining an opening within which a proximal end portion of a medicament delivery device is removably received, the electronics housing configured to be matingly coupled to the proximal end portion to remain coupled to the medicament delivery device such that the medicament delivery device is actuated by manipulating the electronics housing; and an electronic circuit system coupled to the electronics housing, the electronic circuit system including at least one of a switch or a sensor coupled to the electronics housing, a light output device and a wireless communications module, the electronic circuit system configured to produce a light output via the light output device when the switch or the sensor is changed from a first state to a second state, the electronic circuit system configured to receive an actuation signal associated with actuation of the medicament delivery device, the electronic circuit system configured to output, via the wireless communication module, a compliance signal associated with the actuation signal, the compliance signal being a short-range radio frequency signal including a time stamp associated with the actuation of the medicament delivery device. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a medicament delivery device defining an internal volume within which a medicament container assembly can be disposed, the medicament container assembly including at least a medicament container and a delivery member, the medicament delivery device including a retainer configured to matingly receive the medicament container assembly within the internal volume, the medicament delivery device configured to actuate the medicament container assembly to initiate delivery of a medicament via the delivery member when the medicament delivery device is manipulated; and an electronic circuit system coupled to the medicament delivery device, the electronic circuit system configured to receive identification information from an identification mechanism of the medicament container assembly, the electronic circuit system configured to produce a first output associated with the identification information, the electronic circuit system configured to produce a second output in response to the actuation of the medicament container assembly. - View Dependent Claims (13)
