Wristwatch-Like Device Automates Drug Delivery

By Biotechdaily staff writers
Posted on 27 Sep 2004
A new drug delivery device, worn like a wristwatch, can be programmed to administer drug doses into the body automatically, at different times of the day and in varying doses, whether the patient is asleep or awake.

Called ChronoDose, the system is most effective for treating heart disease, depression, asthma, attention-deficit disorder, hypertension, and arthritis, according to the marketer, Chrono Therapeutics, Inc. More...
(Nanuet, NY, USA). The device can be programmed to release drugs when disease symptoms are statistically worst, to increase the effectiveness of therapy. The device is capable of precisely tailored drug delivery where noninvasive, automated administration of a precise drug at a precise time was previously impossible.

ChronoDose was developed by the University of Basel, the University of Applied Science of Basel, and the University of Applied Science of Solothurn (all in Switzerland) in association with Chrono Therapeutics.

Our ChronoDose system will help ease patient suffering by managing peak disease symptoms with far greater efficacy and fewer side effects than any other system available today, noted Guy DiPierro, founder and president of Chrono Therapeutics.
