SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PLACEMENT OF WEARABLE DRUG DELIVERY DEVICES

Abstract:

A wearable drug delivery device and method for optimizing performance thereof are provided. A system may include a processor operable with memory, and a drug delivery device and sensor coupled to a user, the sensor operable to detect characteristics of the delivery device. A receiver operable on the processor receives an input signal from the sensor, the input signal representing the detected characteristics. A controller operable on the processor receives the input signal from the receiver, and retrieves, from memory, a baseline characteristics. The controller may determine a location of the delivery device and a tissue profile of the injection location based on a comparison between the detected characteristics and the baseline characteristics. The controller may further control or modify delivery of a liquid drug from the delivery device in response to the location of the delivery device.
