Dolcera Corporation Presentation on Smart Drug Delivery Systems

Contact Us 2 This is only a sample report with brief analysis Dolcera can provide a comprehensive report customized to your needs

Introduction The smart miniature drug delivery system is used for delivering drugs to the host. Biological information detected by biological sensors is analyzed and the drug delivery system is actuated to deliver the drug based on the information. The system utilizes MEMS or NEMS technology based drug pumps, micro-pumps, micro-needles, micro-osmotic pumps, and nano-pumps. MEMS based drug delivery systems provide enhanced drug therapy which allows accurate dosing with more efficacy and effectiveness. The application of MEMS for drug delivery through biocapsules, microneedles, and micropumps offers a less invasive drug therapy and improves the quality of life of the patients. 3

Insights: Year wise IP activity Year wise IP activity based on publication years 15

Insights: Geographical Distribution Geographical distribution of patents 16

Insights: Others Our product search indicates that there are six smart drug delivery devices based on MEMS/NEMS while only three smart drug delivery devices are based on microneedles. Out of the six smart drug delivery devices based on MEMS/NEMS, two devices -- IsoMed Drug Pump and SynchroMed II Drug Pump -- from Medtronic have already been launched into the market. Furthermore, two out of the six Jewel Pump from Debiotech, and MicroCHIPS' delivery device are in clinical trial stage. These two devices are expected to be launched around the end of the year 2014 in the US. 17
