Marie McCarthy (TBC)
Next-generation drug delivery: needle-free and connectivity
- Adherence to treatment in injectable therapies for chronic disease is very low (40% - 60%)
- There is an opportunity for a new form of drug delivery to change this paradigm and transform the perception and approachability of such therapies
- Connectivity in drug delivery enables the provider to be closer to their patients, know how their patients use their medicines and embed positive feedback loops to improve outcomes
- Case study: A needle-free drug delivery device such as the one developed by Portal can help solve the needle anxiety problem plaguing the access to biological therapies
