An injection device, which can be, e.g., an insulin pen, can capture and transmit injection and/or medicament information to another device, such as, e.g., a blood glucose meter. The injection and medicament information can include, e.g., time and date of injection, type of medicament injected, and dosage amount. The injection device can include a dial cap that can be rotated to select a dosage amount to be injected. In some embodiments, the dial cap can include a microcontroller with transmitter, a Hall effect sensor, and a ring magnet. In some embodiments, the injection device can include a medicament cartridge with a 1-wire EEPROM, which can have medicament information stored therein. Methods of operating an injection device are also provided, as are other aspects.
A dial cap configured to be attached to a housing of an injection device, the dial cap comprising:
A medicament cartridge configured to be received in a cartridge container of an injection device, the medicament cartridge comprising:
A method of operating an injection device, the method comprising:
