Innovations regarding self injections.
Milestone's innovative computer-controlled drug delivery platform has been designed to reduce the anxiety and pain of self-administration of medications for the rapidly expanding home-use market. The computer-controlled self-administration system provides a less threatening, virtually painless means for patients to safely self-administer in-home a variety of injections. Moreover, certain differentiating features and capabilities of the invention include the following:
• The system provides a means to optimize injection parameters (injection pressure and flow-rate) for a specific area of the body for each individual, thus allowing the user to create a unique injection profile specific to their own pain tolerance and needs.
• The computer-controlled system provides an interactive learning and teaching experience guiding the user through the injection experience, thereby reducing the uncertainty and anxiety of performing the self-administrated injection.
• The system provides a means of reducing medical errors by verifying the authenticity of the drug administered as well as generating a digital treatment record of the event that can be reviewed by healthcare professions to verify self-medication compliance.
• The system has been designed to be compatible with a wide variety of medications that are routinely prescribed for in-home self-administration.
