Companion Medical, a company based in San Diego, landed the European CE Mark of approval for its InPen insulin management system. The InPen, which is already available in the United States, works like a common insulin pen, but also with the ability to send its usage data to paired smartphone. The data is used to help calculate future insulin dose recommendations, to keep one's physician up-to-date on the patient's compliance, and to help adjust therapy as necessary.

While the Insights app, that works with the InPen, recommends the dosage amounts, the user still has to manually input that setting on the pen before injections. This is an important safety feature, as it allows the patient to use the InPen even if the paired-up smartphone is not available.

The app creates a report that shows aggregated glucose, insulin, and meal data, on a day-by-day basis. The combination of all these relevant factors in one place can help to more easily identify any causes for abnormal glucose levels that can vary widely and often seemingly without reason.

Here's a promo video for the InPen:

Once the recommendation for insulin has been provided, the user still has to dial up the amount of units on the pen and administer. This leaves room for human error and administering an incorrect amount of insulin.

Also, because this program is powered through a battery operated cellular device, in the event that the cellular device is not charged, the patient will not be able to use the features.

Overall, I believe that the InPen is a beneficial application with the growing technological advancements that we see in medicine. Not only does it integrate the phone with patient care, it also allows the patient to be more involved in their day to day medical needs. This also reinforces the education that was given to the patient from medical personnel regarding insulin usage and diet. This application can aid in medication adherence as it provides reminders for patients.

One of the benefits of the InPen is that it involves the patient in their care. This helps the patient to monitor what they eat by inputing into the program and administering insulin that way.
Another benefit is that it maintains a log of recent blood glucose levels and units of insulin administered which can assist the medical provider in understanding how glucose is managed and what changes need to be made.
