Portable Devices And Methods For Detecting, Identifying And Quantifying Amounts Of Subcutaneously Injected Compounds

Abstract

This disclosure relates to portable devices and methods for detecting, identifying and quantifying subcutaneously injected compounds in a subject. In an example, an injector is disposed in a housing, a cartridge is attached to the injector which includes the compound and one or more marker molecules, a near infrared radiation source is disposed in the housing, a monochromator is disposed in the housing through which the near infrared radiation is focused in a narrow bandwidth, a detector is disposed in the housing which includes detects near infrared radiation data absorbed by the marker molecule, a gyroscope identifies the angle of injection, a communication apparatus is disposed in the housing connected to the detector which electrically transmits the data collected by the detector and the gyroscope, and a battery is disposed in the housing connected to the communication apparatus, near infrared radiation source and the detector.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
