The Bang & Olufsen Medicom has a focus on four main areas of drug
delivery device development, which employ innovative strategies to help with
patient compliance issues:
-
Inhalation: We make inhalers with single dose counters, which give
more power back to the patient on how much medication remains in their
canister and helps them track the doses they need to take regularly.
- Tablet Reminders: We have created a series of tablet reminder
devices that help patients remember to take their tablets on a daily or
twice daily basis. The tablet reminder is equipped with electronic
functions that once activated, can remind the user to take their
medication and feeds back to them on how well they have kept to their
medication regime.
- Injection pen cap: We have also create an intelligent pen cap that
fits with a wide range of injection pens so that the user can track the
injection doses to be taken and again measure their compliance rate for
the longer term.
- Diagnostic devices: In addition, Bang & Olufsen Medicom has
partnered with 3M to create ambient-noise reducing electronic
stethoscopes that allow for greater amplification of
difficult-to-hear heart and lung sounds.
Patient compliance focus
Bang & Olufsen Medicom focuses on patient compliance, as the average
patient forgets every second dose (patients on average have a 50%
compliance rate — WHO Report 2003). Therefore we believe that patients
need help to remember to take their medication and a motivation to keep
on track for their full course of prescribed medication. This is
especially important for patients with chronic diseases, otherwise they
may face a relapse, hospitalization or in severe cases — death. For more information you can visit:
