Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally concerns systems and methods for encouraging a patient to use a drug delivery device in accordance with a treatment regimen.
  • Drugs can be administered through the use of drug delivery devices, such as autoinjectors or on-body injectors or infusers. These devices may replace older delivery systems using the combination of a syringe and a vial containing the drug or medicament, or a pre-filled syringe. Autoinjectors and on-body injectors may be used to automate the injection and delivery or administration process, thereby simplifying the process for certain patient groups or sub-groups for which use of the syringe/vial combination or pre-filled syringe systems is disadvantageous, whether because of physiological or psychological impediments.
  • drug delivery devices such as autoinjectors or on-body injectors or infusers. These devices may replace older delivery systems using the combination of a syringe and a vial containing the drug or medicament, or a pre-filled syringe.
  • Autoinjectors and on-body injectors may be used to automate the injection and delivery or administration process, thereby simplifying
  • patients may experience challenges in being adherent or compliant with a treatment regimen. For example, certain patients may not perform the injections according to the treatment regimen, having forgotten to perform the injection at all. Other patients may perform the injections, but then be unable to remember whether they performed the injections because they become distracted before they are able to record that they did so. Some patients may elect not to perform the injections because of misunderstandings or miscommunications of when or how the medication will affect the patient's disease or symptoms, especially where the effects are not felt by the patient until a considerable portion of the treatment regimen has been performed.
  • Some patients may be more likely to follow a treatment regimen if they are provided with support and/or encouragement from others (e.g., a healthcare provider, a caregiver, a family member, a friend, another individual with a similar medical condition, etc.). However, the people who would potentially be willingly to provide such support and/or encouragement may be unaware that the patient has failed to follow the treatment regimen.
  • others e.g., a healthcare provider, a caregiver, a family member, a friend, another individual with a similar medical condition, etc.
  • the present disclosure sets forth various systems and methods to support patient use of a drug delivery device and facilitate compliance with a treatment regimen.
  • a social networking based method of providing a patient with support may include associating the patient with at least one support group.
  • the method may also include receiving data representative of at least one of a condition or an operational state of a drug delivery device associated with the patient.
  • the method may further include determining if the patient is compliant with a treatment regimen based on the condition or the operational state of the drug delivery device.
  • the method may include transmitting a communication to the at least one support group requesting the at least one support group to counsel the patient about the treatment regimen.
  • a support system for a patient includes a drug delivery system and an external computing device.
  • the drug delivery system may include a reservoir, a delivery cannula having a proximal end in fluid communication with the reservoir and a distal end to be received within the patient, one or more sensors, and a first communication module configured to transmit a report representative of at least one of a condition or an operational state of the drug delivery device.
  • the external computing device may include a second communication module configured to receive the report, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store non-transitory, computer-executable instructions.
  • the non-transitory, computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to: (i) associate the patient with the at least one support group; (ii) store, in the memory, a predefined criteria for determining compliance with a treatment regimen; (iii) compare the report with the predefined criteria to determine if the patient is compliant with the treatment regimen; and (iv) in response to a determination that the patient is not compliant with the treatment regimen, control the second communication module to transmit a communication to the at least one support group requesting the at least one support group to counsel the patient about the treatment regimen.
