A needle-free drug delivery patch that helps patients receive treatments and therapies pain-free.

WHY?

Many people fear injections and the associated pain, making medical treatments difficult to follow. This is why we created Medicsen: to provide a non-invasive, painless alternative for drug delivery, improving treatment adherence and simplifying healthcare for everyone.

DISRUPTIVE IDEA

Medicsen’s Smartpatch is the first truly non-invasive drug delivery system, completely free of needles. It ́s based on a patented ultrasonic system that transforms electric currents into sound vibrations to open skin pores temporarily and deliver macromolecular drugs through them. The device has a durable component that can last for up to 3 years and a disposable component to be used for up to 3 days. The absorption rate can be adjusted based on need, and is digitally and manually programmable.

POSITIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY

For patients, the Smartpatch offers a needle-free, non-invasive and painless solution for drug delivery. A wearable, it’s discrete, easy to use, and can be programmed digitally. It also ensures better adherence to treatment plans, since those receiving medicine through it won’t be deterred by pain or other difficulties. Because it makes taking prescribed drugs easier and simpler, it contributes to overall improved treatment outcomes, which can reduce costs for hospitals and healthcare systems, too.

Their goal is to eliminate the need for the more than 30 million injections that patients must receive by 2028, increasing adherence to treatments and saving 10% of the cost associated with needle-delivery complications. These data points are all key priorities made by the WHO, governmental organizations like the European Union, and states like the United States.

BENEFITS OF USING THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM

By using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Medicsen is able to de-escalate risk and accelerate their time to market. They use SIMULA to run pre-analysis on the behavior of their device’s ultrasonic components and micro-fluidic systems for drug delivery. They then scaling these findings to the 3D design phase with SOLIDWORKS, moving through clinical trials with the support of MEDIDATA and exemplifying real-life examples with 3DEXCITE.
