Medication injection site and data collection system

摘要

A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.

1. A system comprising:
a housing; a medication port extending from an external face of the housing configured to be fluidically and directly coupled to a fluid outlet of a manually administrable medication container comprising medication for administration to a patient; a first identification sensor disposed within the housing to generate identification information indicative of contents of the medication container when the fluid outlet of the medication container is fluidically coupled or is being fluidically coupled to the medication port; a second sensor disposed within the housing to detect information on a source other than the medication container that is associated with the administration of the contents of the medication container; and a transmitter disposed within the housing and in communication with the first identification sensor and the second sensor to wirelessly transmit the information generated by the first identification sensor and the second sensor to a remote data collection system.
