Schreiner MediPharm has developed an NFC label for an insulin injection aid from Ypsomed that can be used to automatically identify, authenticate and check the shelf life of a medication.<\/p>\n

Diabetes patients who are dependent on insulin for the rest of their lives must administer the vital medication via insulin pumps, syringes or pens. Ypsomed offers the disposable pen for this and other multi-dose therapies. UnoPen<\/em> with variable dosage adjustment. Schreiner MediPharm has developed an NFC label for this injection aid<\/strong>, which serves as a communication interface between the injector and SmartPilot - an electronic supplement to the pen. The resulting smart device interactively supports patients while they are using the pen and helps them to adhere to their treatment plan.<\/p>\n

NFC label designed to fit perfectly<\/h2>\n

The from Schreiner MediPharm<\/a> label with an integrated NFC chip has been customised to fit the combination of UnoPen and SmartPilot<\/a> designed. With the NFC label, the Drug automatically identified, authenticated and checked for shelf life<\/strong> be used. The smart device is used to track the injection date, injection time and delivery quantity and transmit them to the patient's smartphone app via Bluetooth.<\/p>

The patient is guided interactively through the injection process, supported in real time in the correct use of the pen or informed about discrepancies - for example in the event of deviations from the treatment plan or before an accidental double injection.<\/p>\n

Temperature sensor gives warning<\/h2>\n

Also integrated is a Temperature monitoring that issues a warning,<\/strong> if the pen has been exposed to critical temperatures during use and storage. This is possible thanks to the sensor technology built into the SmartPilot, which digitally networks the UnoPen. The smart device is simply placed on the pen without covering the cap, the mechanism for scaling the dose or the button that triggers the injection. The device remains on the pen during the entire injection process.<\/p>
