The Betaconnect electronic auto-injector was developed to facilitate a gentler, lower-force injection. The system can be operated with one hand, featuring automatic needle insertion and retraction. Injection speed, needle insertion depth and injection reminders can be individually customised by the patient. The injection data are uploaded to a website via a cable or Bluetooth.
Statement by the Jury
The auto-injector’s excellent ergonomics provide the user with the necessary safety, while the smooth silhouette emphasises its softness.
