The number of patients requiring daily injections are increasing yearly. Both the elderly and children make up a large portion of these patients.
Each year, the list of injectible medications on the market grows. Approximately 2 to 3 Billion injections are administered outside traditional healthcare facilities yearly. Many of the patients that require daily injections are diabetic. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 20.8 million people in the United States alone who have diabetes. This makes up 7% of the American population. Some patients require multiple injections daily.
Despite many medical advances made over the last years, some problems still remain. Fear of needles, shaky hands and lack of confidence lead to anxiety when injecting. Instability leads to bent needles, increased pain, and difficulties during injection.
Existing systems created to help eliminate some of these issues have proven both complicated and costly. A BETTER SOLUTION IS ON THE HORIZON...
