Smart Connected Insulin Pens, Caps, and Attachments Industry Analysis
Smart insulin pens that can inject insulin with an intuitive smartphone app to efficiently manage diabetes through proper insulin delivery are gaining rapid interest across markets. Diabetes management is a complex process and requires continuous blood glucose monitoring to ensure the condition does not interfere with the regular lives of the diabetic population. Smart insulin pens offer potential advantages over vials and syringes, as they allow for precise dosing, lower pain, improved adherence, and others to increase patient satisfaction.
Pens
Currently, there are approximately 537 million patients living with diabetes around the world, and the diabetes population is forecast to increase to 783 million in 2045. Diabetes is also reported as the seventh leading cause of death in the world. Further, the percentage of people with diabetes increases with age, which supports the need for sophisticated insulin delivery systems that are patient-friendly. In addition, 3 in 4 adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries, and accordingly, launching products at low prices remains a key growth strategy for rapid expansion.
The use of vials and syringes remained the widely used way of insulin administration. Difficulty in administration, ensuring no bubbles are present in syringes, and measuring the exact volume required presents challenges for patients and caregivers. Accordingly, the shift towards insulin pens with relatively fewer efforts is gaining wide market penetration.
Over the recent past, the drive towards smart insulin pens where sensors are attached to the pens, or deployed with smart caps or entire smart pens is widely observed. Products with smart upgrades on the volume administered, available in the pen, and other information are being put forward to online portals to attract a wide range of the population. Both first-generation pens with memory and other advancements and second-generation pens that can transmit data through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other networks are likely to gain robust market share over the forecast period.
The recent developments in the field of digital health solutions including technological advancements in the fields of connected devices, software, and virtual platforms are assisting in achieving glycemic control through consistent and optimized insulin.
Dose amount, dose timing, insulin quality, and other parameters are calculated and shared on online platforms to address the challenges of missed doses, mistimed doses, dosing errors, and dosing miscalculation. With automatic logging of insulin delivery data, patients can monitor if the dose has been administered or whether the wrong dose was given, and receive an alert if they forget to take an injection.
Caps
To overcome the vision and mobility challenges and to ensure adequate levels of insulin in injected based on the patient’s sugar levels, smart caps are gaining wide interest among patients and care providers. Data tracking caps, in particular, are gaining rapid interest across segments. Caps that calculate each dose based on current blood sugar level, carbohydrate levels, and settings prescribed by physicians are marketed by companies.
Attachments
SmartPilot (attachment), InsulClock, Clipsulin, EasyLog, InsulCheck, and others are widely marketed attachments for insulin pens. Compatibility to a wide range of insulin types, display of time, type, the quantity of insulin administered, reminders for dosing, assessment of food/glucose input, temperature fluctuations, long battery life, and memory, Alerts patients about missed, extra, and next doses, the elapsed time between injections, alert on successful administration, and others are among the key features marketed by companies offering these attachments.
