MACRO TRENDS ACCELERATING THE ADOPTION OF CONNECTIVITY IN DRUG DELIVERY

Ramin Rafiei argues that connected therapeutics – the augmentation of drugs through sensors and connectivity – are now a clinical source for real-world data and provide an opportunity to bridge the efficacy-to-effectiveness gap. This next frontier in drug delivery, powered by connected therapeutics, will be data-driven, personalised, outcomes-based and accessible.

CONNECTIVITY RESTORING TRUST IN PHARMA COMMUNICATIONS

Napoleon Monroe analyses connectivity coverage at recent drug delivery conferences and, more broadly, in various publications, to evaluate the current direction, and explore the scope for connectivity to effect changes benefiting multiple stakeholders across a range of treatment categories.

DON’T DEVELOP A CONNECTED DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE WITHOUT READING THIS

DON’T DEVELOP A CONNECTED DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE WITHOUT READING THIS

Matt Jones summarises some of the key challenges and opportunities in the development of connected drug delivery devices, focusing in detail on deciding what a connected drug delivery device should do, designing for a coin cell, direct cellular connection and antenna design.

USER-CENTRED DEVICE CONNECTIVITY

USER-CENTRED DEVICE CONNECTIVITY

Mark Tunkel and Carolyn Rose discuss the benefits of taking a user-needs approach, and mapping the patient journey, in a connectivity strategy.

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF INFUSION PUMP INTEROPERABILITY

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF INFUSION PUMP INTEROPERABILITY

Interoperability is not a new concept for infusion pumps. But in many cases hospitals have been slow to embrace the full potential of connectivity. When is this likely to change? What will hospitals need when it does? And where should infusion pump manufacturers focus innovation efforts in the meantime? Tim Frearson considers the options.
