    Abstract: Plunger systems for expelling a liquid drug from a drug container within a wearable drug delivery device are provided. A rotation system coupled to a plunger rotates the plunger about a central axis of the plunger to overcome a static friction between the plunger and the drug container. After rotating the plunger, a drive system moves the plunger forward into the drug container to expel the liquid drug for delivery to the patient. A collapsible plunger includes a cavity. A radial torsion spring positioned in the cavity can provide an outward radial force on the collapsible plunger. The cavity enables the collapsible plunger to compress radially when entering and passing through a region of a drug container having a relatively narrower width. The radial torsion spring can radially expand the collapsible plunger when entering and passing through a region of the drug container having a relatively wider width.

    Abstract: A wearable drug delivery device that can deliver a liquid drug stored in a container to a patient is provided. The container can be a prefilled cartridge that can be loaded into the drug delivery device by the patient or that can be preloaded within the drug delivery device when provided to the patient. A sealed end of the container is pierced to couple the stored liquid drug to a needle conduit that is coupled to a needle insertion component that provides access to the patient. A drive system of the drug delivery device can expel the liquid drug from the cartridge to the patient through the needle conduit. The drive system can be controlled to provide the liquid drug to the patient in a single dose or over multiple doses.

    Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a drug delivery device is configured for Body Channel Communication (BCC). The drug delivery device may include a conductive element embedded in an adhesive patch that secures the drug delivery device to the user. This conductive element acts as a coupler to the body of the user. Another conductive element may also be provided at a face of the housing. This conductive element acts as the other end of the coupler formed with the conductive coil in the adhesive patch. The conductive coil in the adhesive patch conforms well to the user's skin surface and thus facilitates a good quality coupling with the user.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may provide an adhesive pad that is designed to be used with an on-body medical device. The adhesive pad may partially or fully surround a perimeter of the on-body medical device. The adhesive pad may be the primary mechanism or may provide an additional mechanism for helping to secure the on-body medical device to the user. In addition, the adhesive pad may include a metallic coil, such as a metal loop, that is woven into the adhesive pad or otherwise inserted into or secured to the adhesive pad. The metallic coil may play multiple roles. First, the metallic coil may act as an antenna to facilitate wireless communications with the on-body medical device, such as NFC communications. In addition, the metallic coil may serve as a power source for electric components positioned on the adhesive pad.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically delivering medication to a user. An automated drug delivery system may include a sensor and a wearable automated drug delivery device. The wearable automated drug delivery device may be configured to couple to the skin of a user and may include a controller and a pump. The pump may be configured to output the medication. The controller may be within the wearable automated drug delivery device. The sensor may be coupled to the user and may be configured to collect information regarding the user. The controller of the wearable automated drug delivery device may use the collected information to locally determine an amount of medication to be output from the wearable automated drug delivery device and cause delivery of the amount of medication.
