Drug Delivery Designed to Improve the Patient Experience

Enable Injections takes a look at the delivery challenges of novel therapies for chronic diseases using a specific patient’s story as an example, going on to highlight the ways in which a novel device approach could make all the difference for patients.

Chronic illness touches everyone, it seems. Whether it is a family member, friend or co-worker, many people have some understanding of how difficult life can be while managing a chronic disease. The biotech revolution has led to many novel therapies that are changing lives. But these new therapies may come with delivery challenges that make it difficult for a patient to receive treatment. When a patient shares stories of the rigours they endure to manage their disease, it highlights the motivating factor behind novel technology like the enFuse on-body infusor platform.

A REAL PATIENT WITH A REAL STORY

The Enable Injections team recently spent time with a patient who introduced an interesting perspective on her infusions. Megan has managed a chronic autoimmune disease for more than 15 years. She is passionate about helping others who live with similar autoimmune diseases – especially young people, because she was diagnosed at the age of 18.

Megan was initially prescribed 28 pills per day for treatment, which proved to be difficult to manage and ineffective. While planning her life around her dosing schedule, she lived in a mental fog due to fatigue and was unable to travel or do other activities she loves.

At the age of 23, she began seeing a new doctor who said to her: “You are a young person and you deserve to live your life.” Megan said hearing those words was life-changing, as she thought she would never feel well again. Her new doctor prescribed a new therapy via IV administration, and she began feeling better. Even though she was required to take an afternoon off work for each treatment, she didn’t mind the inconvenience. She began to think of the three hours tethered to the IV as “me time” because the hospital infusion centre was comfortable and, over time, she came to know the staff. However, each infusion had the potential for its own challenges.
