AUvi-Q
Auvi-Q™ the first Voice-Guided Epinephrine Auto-Injector For Patients With Life-Threatening Allergies just received FDA Approval. This design talks patients and caregivers through the process of injection. Once the device is pulled out from its case, a voice tells of the first step.Tiny sensors detect that each step has been taken and a voice prompt is played on what to do next. Above you can watch a short video, demonstrating the device.
Auvi-Q is the first-and-only compact epinephrine auto-injector with audio and visual guidance to patients and caregivers. The device will be aimed at patients who are at risk for anaphylaxis.
While recently updated guidelines emphasize the importance of the life-saving role of epinephrine, surveys showed that two-thirds of patients and caregivers do not carry their epinephrine auto-injectors as recommended and nearly half worry that others will not know how to use their device during an emergency.
Auvi-Q contains epinephrine, a well-established, first-line treatment for severe, life-threatening allergic reactions that may occur as a result of exposure to allergens including nuts, shellfish, dairy, eggs, insect bites, latex and medication, among other allergens.
