This invention describes a skin patch or pump that delivers drugs through the skin using various mechanisms like tiny needles or porous membranes. It holds the drug in a long, narrow channel and uses a pump and electronic controls to deliver it according to a programmed schedule. The core idea is a wearable device that precisely manages drug delivery over time.
Why it matters: Since 2008, significant advancements in miniaturized electronics, micro-pump technology, and microneedle manufacturing have made such wearable, programmable drug delivery systems more feasible and cost-effective.
