Abstract:
1. A portable handheld electronic module adapted to be releasably attached to an associated mechanical medication delivery device, said mechanical medication delivery device being configured for setting the amount of a dose of a medicament and injecting of set doses, the mechanical medication delivery device generating click sounds during setting and expelling of a dose of a medicament whereby the number of click sounds correspond to an amount of a set dose and an expelled dose, the portable electronic module comprising: a module housing; a detector mounted in the module housing for wirelessly detecting click sounds generated in response to an event or action occurring within the associated mechanical medication delivery device during the setting and/or expelling of a dose, and associating with each event or action a time stamp; a mutually cooperating coupling device releasably attaching the portable handheld electronic module to the associated mechanical medication delivery device; and a signal processor structure for storing information associated with the detected click sounds including the number of click sounds detected during setting and expelling of a dose, and storing the associated time stamp; wherein said signal processor structure is adapted to process the detected click sounds prior to storing information associated with said click sounds, and wherein the signal processor structure is able to distinguish and process click sounds generated by way of filtering differing frequency ranges in the associated mechanical medication delivery device of wherein the signal processor structure determines whether an at least one dose of medicament is being set and an at least one dose of medicament is being expelled.
