There is a growing movement within the healthcare industry towards patient self-care—one that enables patients to manage certain aspects of their treatment, such as prescription drug delivery outside of the provider’s guidance. Given the growing costs of some injectable biologic treatments, both doctors and insurance providers are posed with new concerns as to whether such costly treatments prescribed will be administered by the patient correctly or even whether the medicine itself is not counterfeit, diluted, or tampered with. Without safeguards in place, the convenience of self-care is likely to remain tarnished by these concerns. Luckily, Maxim has developed a demo kit based on their MAX66242 and DS28EL15 DeepCover® Secure Authenticators that will remotely connect the patient and doctor to quell these concerns.

To watch a video overview and demonstration of Maxim’s medical demo kit, click the image below:

By Maxim’s model, a patient would receive their vials of medication and insert them into the injector, which detects whether or not the medicine is genuine. To do this, each vial has a DS28EL15 authenticator with Maxim’s 1-Wire® contact package on the end. Through an electro-mechanical contact, the vial is read by the host MCU when inserted, allowing the host to verify the drug’s authenticity. If the drug fails authentication, OEMs could prevent it from being dispensed, or warn the user prior to dispensing. The patient can use an app linked to a mobile NFC-enabled device that authenticates the injector to the host network, which reports data back to the healthcare provider such as dates, times, dosages, and authenticity of the medication that was administered to the patient. This allows for verification back to both the healthcare and insurance provider that the drug administered is genuine and the treatment plan is being followed as prescribed.
