Self-administered Injectable Drug Therapies and Markets

For drug self-administration devices, human engineering and user ergonomics are essential attributes that impact critical patient issues such as safety and patient compliance. While designers have acquired many powerful design tools during the past decade - tools that include 3D CAD design software and high-performance materials, design team have been increasingly relying on classic end user research to define the design targets for their projects.

For specialty prefilled injection devices - a group that includes prefilled pen injectors, autoinjectors and needle-free injection devices - the ability to create product differentiation in the age of direct-to-consumer marketing and competition from generics provide incentives to consider this higher-cost option. Specialty device features such as multi-dose drug cartridges and integrated dose counters can improve ease-of-use for self-administration and create brand loyalty among consumers with chronic conditions.
