Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 6:
7. A needle-free injector system comprising:
a needle-free injector having at least one ambient sensor configured to monitor an ambient condition of the needle-free injector;
a first contact sensor configured to detect contact with a treatment site on a patient;
a second contact sensor configured to detect electric current adjacent a handle of the needle-free injector; and
a processor configured to perform steps of:
detecting that an actuator of the needle-free injector has deployed a dose of a treatment as an injection event;
monitoring a signal from the at least one ambient sensor during the injection event;
detecting, based on a signal from the first contact sensor and the second contact sensor, a contact with the patient during the injection event;

determining, based on the signal from the at least one ambient sensor during the injection event and the signal from the first contact sensor indicating whether the needle-free injector was in contact with patient, a likelihood that the dose of the treatment was successfully delivered to the patient; and
transmitting information to a server regarding the injection event.
