Medication container with applet-based drug delivery parameter configuration
The present disclosure provides a method for configuring a medicament container. The method includes filling a medicament container with a predetermined amount of a medicament, or obtaining a pre-filled medicament container. The method further includes obtaining, by a mobile terminal, a plurality of parameters of the medicament contained in the medicament container via a readable and programmable tag, wherein the tag is provided on the medicament container, and wherein the parameters are obtained via a portable app run on the mobile terminal. The method further includes displaying, on the mobile terminal, the parameters obtained via the tag. The method further includes configuring, via the portable app, at least one of the parameters of the medicament.
1 . A method for configuring a medicament container, the method comprising:
filling a medicament container with a predetermined amount of a medicament, or obtaining a pre-filled medicament container;
obtaining, by a mobile terminal, a plurality of parameters of the medicament contained in the medicament container via a readable and programmable tag, wherein the parameters of the medicament comprise at least a volume, wherein the volume is determined by a pressure sensor, wherein the tag is provided on the medicament container, wherein the tag is multi-layered, comprising a first layer with a first set of parameters and a second layer with a second set of parameters, and wherein a removal of the first layer of the tag prevents the first set of parameters from being obtained and allows the second set of parameters to be obtained, and wherein the parameters are obtained via a portable app run on the mobile terminal;
displaying, on the mobile terminal, the parameters obtained via the tag; and
configuring, via the portable app, at least one of the parameters of the medicament.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the portable app is downloaded to the mobile terminal according to the parameters obtained via the tag.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the tag comprises a quick response, QR, code, a near field communication, NFC, tag or a radio frequency identification, RFID, tag.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the NFC tag or RFID tag is pre-programmed.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the parameters comprise at least one of a medicament name, an initial medicament volume, a residual medicament volume, a prescription dose, a time of manufacture, a time of filling, a dispensing sequence, medication information, pharmacy information, physician information, portable app information, or user instructions.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile terminal is a handheld mobile terminal.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the portable app is an Instant App or App Clip.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the tag is at least partially removable.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first set of parameters comprises different information than the second set of parameters.
10 . A medicament container comprising a readable and programmable tag, the medicament container being configured for use with the method according to claim 1 .
11 . A configurable drug dispensing system comprising:
a medicament container comprising a readable and programmable tag; and
a mobile terminal configured to perform the method according to claim 1 .
