Abstract:

Described is an indication system for a drug delivery device, including a component moveable with respect to a housing during operation of the drug delivery device, an electric circuit having an electrical property, and an electronic-ink label configured to be disposed on the exterior of the housing and in contact with the electric circuit. The electric circuit is operatively coupled to the moveable component to modify the electrical property based on a position of the moveable component such that the electrical property is an indication of the position of the moveable component. The electronic ink label includes printed electronics arranged to be in communication with the electric circuit and configured to display a visual indication related to the position of the moveable component in response to the electrical property. In some instances, the position of the moveable component indicates a dose set or dispensed from the drug delivery device.
