Increasing Patient Safety with a Telemedical Solution for Drug Delivery
01.
Developing a digital solution to taking medication
Our client aimed to solve the challenge of administering precise doses of medications. And in particular, controlled substances. The goal was to create a platform that would make a patient’s medication intake process safer.
This telemedical solution needed to function as both a hardware device and as an integrated system. We worked closely with the client to design a system that manages and monitors drug delivery.

Taking medication at home poses several challenges
The project presented several challenges:
- Precise Drug Administration: ensuring accurate dosing for medications. This was especially important for those classified as high-risk like opioids.
- User-Friendly Interface: designing an intuitive interface. The UI had to be simple for users to understand, particularly the elderly.
- Security: Implementing high-level security features was there to protect patient data. It also prevented unauthorized access to medications.
- Real-Time Monitoring: providing healthcare professionals with tools to monitor patients. This was to check if patients were following their prescribed therapies.
- Versatile Delivery Methods. Initially focusing on intranasal drug delivery, with plans to expand later. The project looked to expand to areas such as sublingual, transdermal, and oral delivery.
- Preventing Abuse: developing mechanisms to stop misuse of medications. This included secure vials and biometric verification.

A solution that puts end-users first
The key components of the project included:
Remote Prescription: the system provides physicians with the ability to prescribe medication remotely. This feature means that patients can receive prescriptions without the need for in-person visits. This helps with convenience and accessibility.
Reminders: the patient application includes a reminder system that alerts users to take their medication on time. This feature helps improve medication adherence and ensures that patients do not miss critical doses.
Biometrics: to enhance security, the system includes biometric verification. Only authorized individuals can access and take the medication. This prevents unauthorized use and ensures patient safety.
Treatment Preview: the platform provides a consistent dashboard for physicians. This allows them to monitor whether patients have taken their medication as prescribed. Real-time monitoring helps healthcare providers ensure compliance and adjust treatment plans as necessary.
