Systems and methods for drug delivery
First Claim
1. A wearable device for delivering a drug, the wearable device comprising:
- a processing unit comprising;
a sensor configured to determine a body parameter of a user;
a reservoir to store the drug;
a processor communicably coupled to the sensor, wherein the processor receives a signal indicative of the body parameter from the sensor, and wherein the processor determines a quantity of the drug to be delivered from the reservoir based on the body parameter; and
a signal generator to generate electrical signals based on control instructions received from the processor; and
a drug delivery unit connected to the processing unit, the drug delivery unit comprising;
a chamber to receive the determined quantity of the drug from the reservoir; and
a transducer connected to the chamber, wherein the transducer transdermally delivers the drug from the chamber to skin of the user based on an electrical signal received from the signal generator.

Abstract
A wearable device for monitoring the body parameters of an individual and for delivering a drug and/or therapeutic agent. The device comprises a processing unit and a drug delivery unit. The processing unit comprises a sensor to determine body parameters of a user; a reservoir to store the drug; a processor to receive signals indicative of the body parameters from the sensor and determine a quantity of the drug to be delivered from the reservoir based on the body parameters; and a signal generator to generate electrical signals based on control instructions received from the processor. The drug delivery unit comprises a chamber to receive the determined quantity of the drug from the reservoir and a transducer connected to the chamber, wherein the transducer transdermally delivers the drug from the chamber to skin based on an electrical signal received from the signal generator.
