One of the main benefits of the InPen is that it reduces the stress of trying to remember past doses or do math in your head. Studies show that smart insulin pens like InPen can improve time in range and lower the chance of giving too much insulin (MacLeod et al., 2023). More recently, a smart pen cap system that works with continuous glucose monitoring showed improvements in blood sugar control that lasted for over a year (Drug Topics, 2025).

Overall, InPen bridges the gap between simple insulin pens and more advanced insulin pumps. It gives the patients helpful technology without the commitment or cost of a pump, while also providing providers with reliable data to adjust care plans.

-Provides dose calculator for mealtime insulin.

-Syncs with CGMs for better glucose-insulin pattern recognition.

-Data sharing with healthcare providers supports personalized adjustments.

-Less invasive and more affordable than insulin pumps.

-Improved adherence and reduces mental burden of logging doses and calculating.

-Requires smartphone with Bluetooth connectivity.

-App learning curve for new users.

-Pen Battery must be replaced annually.

-Patient still makes manual dosing decisions.

-Privacy concerns with health data that is stored and transmitted digitally.

I think InPen will continue to grow in popularity because it offers safety, precision, and peace of mind for patients and providers both.
