Microdose Delivery Systems for Diverse Therapeutic Applications

The inventive concept expands the core technology of wearable patch pumps to deliver microdoses of medication, cosmetic agents, pain-relieving medication, vitamins, and hormones for various therapeutic applications, addressing unmet needs in diverse industries.

The original patent disclosed wearable insulin pumps for Type I Diabetes Mellitus patients. However, these devices are limited to insulin delivery and do not address the needs of patients requiring microdoses of other medications or agents. The inventive concept solves this problem by adapting the core technology to cater to a broader range of therapeutic applications.

The inventive concept comprises wearable patch pumps configured to deliver microdoses of medication, cosmetic agents, pain-relieving medication, vitamins, and hormones. The system includes a controller that adjusts the dosage based on the user's specific needs, skin type, condition, or desired outcome. The wearable device can be removably adhered to the user's skin and may include sensors to detect the user's pain levels, skin type, or other relevant parameters. The inventive concept enables precise, personalized, and targeted delivery of microdoses, offering improved efficacy and reduced side effects.

The new claims introduce the concept of adapting wearable patch pumps for diverse therapeutic applications beyond insulin delivery. The inventive step lies in the recognition that the core technology can be modified to address unmet needs in various industries, such as skin care, pain management, and fertility treatment.

Alternative embodiments may include wearable devices with interchangeable cartridges for different medications or agents, or devices with integrated sensors for real-time monitoring of the user's condition. Variations may also include devices with different form factors, such as wristbands or adhesive strips, or devices that utilize different delivery mechanisms, such as iontophoresis or electroporation.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, pain management, and fertility treatment. The market for wearable patch pumps is expected to grow substantially as the technology is adapted for diverse therapeutic applications, offering improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
