System and methods for administering bioactive compositions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A healthcare system for administering a bioactive composition to a subject, comprising:
- an infusion drug delivery device;
a first smart device integral with and coupled to the drug delivery device;
a second smart device coupled to a healthcare node of the healthcare system, wherein the first smart device and the second smart device are operable to communicate with each other information for the administration of the bioactive composition, and wherein the first smart device is configured to automatically create a patient-specific variable drug dosage instruction based at least upon the information received from the second smart device; and
at least one jet dispenser of the drug delivery device configured to be operable in accordance with the patient-specific variable drug dosage instruction.

Abstract
Bioactive agents are dosed by a jet dispenser using inkjet technology, such as that used in printing devices. A controller may control delivery of one or more drugs, timing of drug administration, or change drug regimens in response to a changing medical condition of a patient or information received from other nodes in a healthcare system. In a healthcare system, smart devices coupled to healthcare nodes can be in communication with the controller for controlling the administration of bioactive compositions from the jet dispenser.
