Abstract
A user device configured to track use of an injection device. The user device includes a processor, a memory and a wireless transceiver. The user device can be configured to use the wireless transceiver to transmit and receive a first set of signals with a storage device configured to store a plurality of unused injection devices, the first set of signals representing data associated with a specific injection device stored in the storage device, and use the wireless transceiver to transmit and receive a second set of signals with a sharps bin configured to store a plurality of used injection devices, the second set of signals representing data associated with the specific injection device disposed of in the sharps bin.

A user device configured to track a use of an injection device, the user device comprising:
- a processor;
- a wireless transceiver;
- and
- a memory comprising computer readable computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the user device to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting and receiving a first set of signals with a storage device configured to store a plurality of unused injection devices, the first set of signals representing data associated with a specific injection device stored in the storage device, and
- transmitting and receiving a second set of signals with a sharps bin configured to store a plurality of used injection devices, the second set of signals representing data associated with the specific injection device disposed of in the sharps bin.
A system for tracking use of an injection device, the system comprising:
- a user device having a user device wireless transceiver;
- a storage device having a plurality of openings, wherein each opening is configured to store an unused injection device for a period of time, the storage device further comprising a storage device wireless transceiver;
- and
- a sharps bin having an opening and a reservoir configured to receive a plurality of used injection devices, the sharps bin further comprising a sharps bin wireless transceiver;
- wherein the user device wireless transceiver is configured to:
- transmit and receive a first set of signals with the storage device wireless transceiver;
- and
- transmit and receive a second set of signals with the sharps bin wireless transceiver, and wherein the first and second sets of signals represent data associated with a specific injection device stored in the storage device and subsequently disposed of in the sharps bin.
A method of tracking use of an injection device in a system comprising a user device, a storage device configured to store an unused injection device for a period of time and a sharps bin, the method comprising:
- using a wireless transceiver of the user device to transmit and receive a first set of signals with the storage device and the user device;
- and
- using the wireless transceiver of the user device to transmit and receive a second set of signals, wherein the first and second sets of signals represent data associated with a specific injection device stored in the storage device and subsequently disposed of in the sharps bin.
