Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for drug delivery measurement. A medicine delivery device includes a cartridge for storing a medicine, a needle assembly coupled to a bottom of the cartridge, a piston located in the cartridge for pushing the medicine to dispense the medicine from the cartridge through the needle assembly, and a sensor configured to measure a distance between the piston and the bottom of the cartridge. The sensor includes a triangulation-based distance measurement unit, a resonant frequency-based distance measurement unit, a time-of-flight-based distance measurement unit, or a frequency-modulated continuous-wave time-of-flight-based distance measurement unit.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a flowmeter in a hypodermic needle device to measure the flow of a drug from a reservoir located within a hypodermic needle device through a needle assembly. In some embodiments a valve may be additionally provided to control the flow of the drug from a reservoir located within a hypodermic needle device through a needle assembly. Such functionality can help ensure the proper dosage is dispensed and/or determine when the drug is improperly dispensed.

Abstract: Disclosed are hypodermic needle devices with a dose dispensing mechanism and methods of using those hypodermic needle devices. The dose dispensing mechanism, which may be an electronically-controlled pump, may be used to measure out a specific dosage amount of a drug while compensating for environmental factors, such as temperature and pressure. This allows the device to be used by patients for self-administration since a specific dosage amount of the drug may be precisely delivered regardless of the environmental conditions at the time of delivery. The specific dosage amount may be set using the device or remotely, and a fingerprint sensor may be used to prevent injecting the drug into the wrong patient.
