The Promise of Connected Healthcare (And Why It's Proving Hard to Get There)
The June edition of OnDrugDelivery featured this article by, Kevin Deane, Executive Vice-President, Front-End Innovation, Medicom Innovation Partner, and Bill Welch, Chief Technology Officer, Phillips-Medisize, showing that clear trends are emerging, some helping to push connected healthcare forward and some that are slowing down progress, and describe the opportunities and challenges arising.
Smart Thinking beyond the smartphone
Phillips-Medisize highlights the challenges and opportunities in drug delivery connectivity that arise when incorporating modern technologies with patient requirements.
Realizing the Benefits of Connected Health in Respiratory Drug Delivery
In this interview, Bill Welch gives ONdrugDelivery magazine an exclusive preview of 'Realizing the Benefits of Connected Health in Respiratory Drug Delivery.'
What's the Outcome?
New and improved drugs are released every year and many companies have initiatives to supply them. While proficient in drug development, most of them do not have the expertise required to fully produce a drug delivery device. Instead, they are increasingly looking to external partners for device designs and manufacturing.
Systems Engineering for Complex Portable Drug Delivery Device Development
A systems engineering approach can provide reduced risk and increased efficiency for the ever-growing requirements of smaller, smarter and more complex inhaler devices. Taking a systems engineering approach to development, provides a holistic, organized and deliberate method for identifying, as well as reducing both patient and business risks early in the process
The Power of Drug Device Company Collaboration
When drug and device companies join forces, it can free pharmaceutical and
biotech companies to focus on their core competencies, while leveraging their
suppliers' existing, proven, regulatory-compliant design ability and
manufacturing processes and infrastructure. Bill Welch, shares a preview of his
forthcoming Pharmapack talk.
Smoke Signals
Phillips-Medisize has used its expertise for a nicotine therapy spray device. From project to production the company was involved in the project which used automatic assembly through indexing machines.
Human-centered Design and Inhalation Device Development
Phillips-Medisize puts human-centered design at the core of our efforts – driving more usable, intuitive, desirable devices for inhalation device patients – and is positioned to help you with the next generation of smaller, smarter inhalers.
Smaller, Smarter, Electronic, Connected: The Next Generation of Drug Delivery Devices
Adding electronics and connectivity to drug-delivery devices is a trend
gaining momentum, particularly for drugs self-administered by patients
outside the clinical setting. The technological advancements that have been driving the consumer electronics market are now influencing new methods for drug delivery.
Full Scale
Scalability for drug delivery begins with concurrent engineering of DFM/DFA and development of a device manufacturing concept. The manufacturing unit or CMO must be able to effectively provide these capabilities, as well as the capabilities for project management and technical execution of the plan.
