Think: an insulin pen but for solid drugs.
Like, you are sure how much you administer EACH time.
Like, you do not split the tablet in 3 worrying if this is 1/3 or closer to 1/4. And if that matters.
One study showed that 1 in 4 caregivers gave a dose that deviated by more than 40%. And more studies point to drug administering errors.
In this X-Health.show episode you’ll hear about
- an engineer’s idea that immediately got pediatrists on board
- how to administer a drug more precisely
- for both children and adults
- how the idea was born
- and why it is good to fail with first tests as much as you can
My guest, Thierry Jomini, is the CEO and founder of Abbatia Labs. A mechanical engineer with 15 years of experience in leading drug delivery device development for Parkinson’s, hormone therapies, or injectable pens for diabetes.
AbbatiaLabs is a Swiss startup that works on POWDOSE, a pre-filled dosing device for solid oral drugs. The aim is to reduce the risk of, now happening way too often, dosage errors, enabling more precise dosing based on body weight, gender, and condition.
