    Abstract: Various exemplary drug delivery device sensing modules and methods of using drug delivery device sensing modules are provided. In general, a sensing module can be configured to be attached to a drug delivery device configured to deliver a drug. The drug delivery device can be any of a variety of types of drug delivery devices, such as a syringe, an injection device (e.g., an autoinjector, a jet injector, and an infusion pump), a nasal delivery device, and an inhaler. The sensing module can be configured to gather data for one or more parameters related to drug delivery and to transmit data indicative of the gathered data to an external source configured to analyze the data received from the sensing module.

    Abstract: Various exemplary steerable needles, methods of using steerable needles, and methods of manufacturing steerable needles are provided. In general, a needle configured to be advanced through soft tissue can be configured to be passively steered in a desired direction through the soft tissue. The needle can include a distal tip configured to facilitate the steering. The needle's distal tip can include a beveled or chamfered edge on one side thereof. The distal tip of the needle can be configured to bend relative to a remainder of the needle in a direction opposite to the side of the distal tip that includes the chamfered edge. The soft tissue can provide resistance to the distal tip being advanced therein such that the distal tip automatically bends in a direction away from the chamfered edge. The needle can also include a bendable portion that is proximal to the distal tip.

    Abstract: Smart pill bottle caps are provided. In general, a smart pill bottle cap can include a housing. The housing can include a sensor that is configured to monitor one or more characteristics of a pill bottle to which the housing is attached and can include a communication mechanism configured to communicate the one or more characteristics of the pill bottle to an external device. The communicated characteristic(s) of the pill bottle can be used to track usage of pills in the pill bottle, such as a date and time of when a pill was taken and/or a number of pills remaining in the pill bottle. A smart pill bottle cap can also be configured to engage a secondary, standard pill bottle cap that is used with a standard pill bottle.
