WEARABLES
Dr Greg Moakes
LTS
WHY SMARTER WEARABLES ARE THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO INTELLIGENT DRUG DELIVERY
Dr Greg Moakes considers how complex devices, such as LTS’s Sorrel™ on-body delivery system can facilitate the self-administration of injectable therapies while continuously monitoring and verifying the device’s critical delivery functions.
WEARABLES
Dr Oliver Eden
TxSphere
SCALING ON-BODY DELIVERY FOR LARGE-VOLUME THERAPIES
Mike Stout and Dr Oliver Eden examine the shift towards large-volume SC administration, what on-body delivery systems make possible and why bringing them to market at scale depends as much on manufacturing as on design.
WEARABLES
Dr Scott Russo
Synolus Medical
LIMITS SHATTERED: ENDING THE AUTOINJECTOR AND WEARABLE INJECTOR DIVIDE
Dr Scott Russo questions the distinction between wearable injectors and autoinjectors, making the case that it is not fundamental to device design, rather it is an outdated segmentation that results in unnecessary design trade-offs. He introduces MiniGo, a next-generation platform device that aims to overcome this false dichotomy.
INTERVIEW
David Karvani
Ventura Solutions
Off The Critical Path: Bringing Device Strategy Forward In Combination Product Development
David Karvani and Greg Moakes discuss how early collaboration with device development partners can help pharma companies navigate the technical and regulatory complexities of combination product development.
EXPERT VIEW
Andy Wertheim
INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE: THE NEXT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN WEARABLE INJECTORS
Andy Wertheim puts forward the case that wearable drug delivery devices comprise two separate architectures – therapeutic and industrial – that must be developed and implemented in tandem if a development programme is to achieve long-term commercial success.
WEARABLES
Reto Jost
Ypsomed
BEYOND DRUG DELIVERY: THREE LENSES FOR SELECTING AN ON-BODY PLATFORM
Reto Jost, Nadine Kaufmann and Shawn James discuss three complementary decision lenses and explain how they offer a practical framework for evaluating early platform decisions that can shape outcomes across the entire product lifecycle.
WEARABLES
Dan Yates
West Pharmaceutical Services
WEAR IT WELL: HOW ON-BODY DELIVERY SYSTEMS HAVE EVOLVED TO EMPOWER PATIENTS AND EMBOLDEN INNOVATORS
Dan Yates considers how wearables have increased their value for both patients and pharma partners through intentional design optimisation, highlighting how insights from real-world use have led to intentional design directions that satisfy the needs of these critical stakeholder groups, further building confidence in a configurable platform that maintains significant potential for future innovation.
WEARABLES
Andrew Moore
Gerresheimer
CONSISTENCY IN LARGE-VOLUME BIOLOGIC DRUG DELIVERY: WHY TISSUE BACKPRESSURE MATTERS
Andrew Moore discusses the importance of backpressure and its variance across the patient population when designing an infusion system for large-volume biologics, including how the company’s Gx InPuls and Gx InPuls Flex infusors are able to adapt to this variance dynamically to ensure a consistent patient experience.
WEARABLES
Dr Haydon DuMond
Enable Injections
THE PERCEPTION PROBLEM WITH SC VOLUME LIMITS AND ITS DRUG DEVELOPMENT COST
Dr Haydon DuMond, Dr Mehul Desai, along with Dr Shirish Ingawale, examine survey evidence and regulatory precedent showing that the widely cited 2–3 mL limit on subcutaneous delivery reflects device history and information habits rather than tissue biology, and consider the consequences for formulation strategy, device selection and the growing pipeline of large-volume subcutaneous therapies.
EXPERT VIEW
Dr Matthew Roberts
DESIGN VERIFICATION FOR THE REAL WORLD: COMPLEX DRUG DELIVERY IN UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS
Dr Matthew Roberts and Andrew Fiorini, explore the key steps involved in building a successful design verification programme for ambulatory electromechanical infusion systems and share the lessons they have learned along the way.
EARLY INSIGHT
David Johnston
Torramics
FROM SPACE PROPULSION TO DRUG DELIVERY: A NEW SUBCUTANEOUS PLATFORM FROM TORRAMICS
David Johnston introduces the NanoFlow platform, a wearable injector based on semiconductor architecture rather than a traditional mechanical pump, enabling enhanced dosing precision and further miniaturisation than is possible with legacy systems. He goes on to outline the technology’s potential to expand beyond insulin to other large-volume subcutaneous drug delivery applications.
EXPERT VIEW
Dr Sammy Hassan
Designing a Wearable Drug Delivery Pump
Dr Sammy Hassan delves into the measures required to ensure safe and reliable use of wearable drug delivery pumps, explaining the difficulties and benefits of incorporating such standards into a device.
