Smart drug delivery

The challenge: Non-compliance and a lack of adherence

Compliance and adherence are essential to achieving therapy goals for the given patient. Non-compliance and a lack of adherence can adversely affect the patient’s health. Not only that, it can also drive the costs of healthcare, for example, one reason being that an ailing patient has to see a doctor more often. Smart medical devices help empower patients. They can contribute to the success of the therapy, especially in the case of chronic diseases.

The solution: Smart drug delivery device

With our technical expertise and many years of experience in the standards-compliant development of medical devices, we supported the Swiss company Sonceboz in software development for a drug delivery device. The on-body device can be used to inject larger volumes of liquid drugs subcutaneously.

• Coordination of system requirements and derivation of software requirements
• Development and verification plan
• Risk management support according to ISO 14971
• State-of-the-art software development according to 62304 class C, FDA major level of concern
• Complete validation of software from component to software system level

The added value: state-of-the-art, modular, safe

ITK has developed the software with a high degree of modularity. The customer benefits from increased flexibility for product variants in combination with the highest safety standards for a class C medical device.

Smart drug delivery devices can greatly enhance the therapy and improve the patient’s quality of life through ease of use at home. Something as simple as fewer regular trips to the clinic can be a tremendous relief for patients with chronic diseases.
