Abstract: A deployment device for deploying a transcutaneous sensor in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a housing including a plunger, a frame, and a cap. The deployment device further includes a spring and a carrier within the housing. The frame defines a deployment window through which the carrier is configured to move the transcutaneous device into contact with a target surface of a subject. This can occur at least partially in response to the frame moving in a second direction relative to the plunger, the second direction being opposite the first direction. The deployment device also include a stop that, when engaged, is configured block separation of the cap from the plunger, thereby enabling the spring to be removed from the housing. The stop is configured to disengage at least partially in response to the frame moving in the second direction relative to the plunger.

Abstract: A sensor assembly for sensing a physiological characteristic includes a power source configured to deliver power to one or more components of an electrical subsystem upon deployment of the sensor assembly to a user. A power latch is configured to latch an output of a power control switch for delivery to one or more components of the electrical subsystem upon deployment of the sensor assembly to a user. The power control switch is configured to inhibit delivery of power to the electrical subsystem prior to deployment of the sensor assembly to a user and to deliver the latched output to one or more components of the electrical subsystem in response to deployment of the sensor assembly to a user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques related to managing dose recommendations in medicine administering systems. The techniques may involve obtaining a recommendation for a dose of medicine to be delivered to a patient and determining that the recommendation is outdated based on detecting one or more intervening events occurring after generation of the recommendation but before any delivery of medicine in accordance with the recommendation. The techniques may further involve implementing one or more safety features for avoiding delivery of the dose of medicine to the patient.

Abstract: A medicine delivery and tracking system includes a medicine injection pen and a delivery port. The pen includes a needle through which medicine is dispensed and an electronic unit configured to at least one of log dispensing of medicine from the pen, control dispensing of medicine from the pen, or communicate regarding dispensing of medicine from the pen. Alternatively, the electronic unit may be part of a separate computing device. The delivery port is configured for attachment to a user and to receive the needle of the pen such that medicine dispensed from the pen is dispensed into the delivery port and through the delivery port to the user. The delivery port includes a detector mechanism configured to detect a presence of the pen and, in response thereto, to communicate a signal to the electronic unit for use in the at least one of logging, controlling, or communicating.

Abstract: A medicine injection pen includes a body, a drive member within the body and configured to move relative thereto upon actuation, a cartridge housing releasably engageable with the body and configured to retain a medicine cartridge, at least one sensor, and at least one detector. The medicine cartridge has a liquid medicine therein and includes a piston configured to slide therein. The drive member is configured to move relative to the body to urge the piston to slide within the medicine cartridge to dispense at least some of the liquid medicine from the medicine cartridge. The sensor(s) is configured to sense movement of the drive member relative to the body to enable determination of an amount of the liquid medicine dispensed. The detector(s) is configured to detect a gap between the drive member and the piston.

Abstract: A liner associated with an adhesive skin patch of a physiological characteristic sensor includes a first end opposite a second end. The liner includes a first side opposite a second side. The liner includes a surface to couple to the adhesive skin patch, at least a portion of which extends from the first end to the second end. The liner includes at least one graspable member defined between the first side and the second side that extends beyond the first end or the second end to initiate a peel of the liner from the adhesive patch at a center of the liner.

Abstract: A system for a physiological characteristic sensor deployed with a sensor inserter includes an adhesive skin patch coupled to the physiological characteristic sensor. The adhesive patch is to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The system includes a gravity resistance system coupled to the adhesive patch and to be coupled to the sensor inserter. The gravity resistance system maintains the adhesive patch substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sensor inserter prior to deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor and the gravity resistance system is to be removable from the sensor inserter by the adhesive patch upon deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor.
