Skin sensor triggering signal

10:

• A medicament delivery device comprising:
• a housing having a first region and a second region, wherein the housing is configured to receive a medicament container containing a medicament;
• a delivery needle extending from the second region of the housing, wherein the delivery needle is configured to penetrate a skin of a user to thereby deliver the medicament from the medicament container into the user;
• a skin sensor positioned at least partially within the housing;
• a transmitter positioned within the housing;
• at least one memory storage element including unique identification data associated with the medicament delivery device and/or the user;
• at least one processor;
• and
• data storage including program instructions stored thereon that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the medicament delivery device to:
• determine, via the skin sensor, whether or not the medicament delivery device is attached to the skin of the user;
• in response to a determination that the medicament delivery device is attached to the skin of the user, prevent transmission of the unique identification data from the transmitter;
• and
• in response to a determination that the medicament delivery device is not attached to the skin of the user, transmit, via the transmitter, the unique identification data to one or more external receivers.

19:

• A medicament delivery device comprising:
• a housing having a first region and a second region, wherein the housing is configured to receive a medicament container containing a medicament having a longitudinal axis;
• a delivery needle extending from the second region of the housing along an axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the medicament container;
• a skin sensor positioned and aligned within a cut-out located in the second region such the skin sensor will contact skin or be adjacent to the skin when the medicament delivery device is attached to the skin;
• a transmitter positioned within the housing;
• a memory storage element including unique identification data associated with the medicament delivery device or the user;
• a processor;
• and
• data storage comprising stored program instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the medicament delivery device to:
• determine, using signals received from the skin sensor, whether or not the medicament delivery device is attached to the skin of the user;
• in response to a determination that the medicament delivery device is attached to the skin of the user, prevent transmission of the unique identification data from the transmitter;
• and
• in response to a determination that the medicament delivery device is not attached to the skin of the user causing the transmitter to transmit the unique identification data to one or more external receivers.
