    many people are afraid of injections, for people with diabetes, daily insulin injection is a more troublesomeNot only do they have to remind themselves not to forget to get the needle on time, but they also have to endure the pain of needles stung into the skinAn article published in the Daily Mail on the 18th will undoubtedly be a boon for such patients: Hewlett-Packard will apply the principle of inkjet printers to medicine, inventing a painless injection patchInjection no longer pain
    HP was inspired to invent a painless injection patch from a cartridge on an inkjet printerThe principle of painless injection patch is similar to that of inkjet printer cartridgesThere were 150 miniature needles on a painless injection patch measuring about 6.5 square centimetersThere are also about 400 cylindrical drug storers in the patchEach reservoir is connected to a needle, and all systems in the patch are controlled by a computer microchip to ensure personalized painless injections are provided to the patient's needsHP intends to enter into a patent rights transfer agreement with Crospon, a manufacturer ofmedical devices
    in Galway, Ireland, which pays HP a license and mass-produced painless injection patchesThe patch is expected to be available to European and U.Smarkets around 2010Crospon CHIEF EXECUTIVE JOHN O'DEE SAID THEY ALSO PLAN TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY TO TAKE PAINLESS INJECTION PATCHES TO MARKETA feature of the timed quantitative injection painless injection patch is that it can provide patients with a regular quantitative injection Joe Byers, HP's vice president of intellectual property patents, said: "What makes this patch unique is the design of the needle-plus microchip - which will make it possible for artificial intelligence to control needles." "The advantage of control needles is that they make the drug time-sensitive, resulting in regular quantitative injections Painless injection patches are especially appropriate for patients with such as diabetes, heart and hormonal disorders, and can also help those who are receiving regular and quantitative injections Painless injection patches are not the first attempt at skin patch technology Nicotine patches for helping smokers quit were available a few years ago But standard skin patch technology can only be "selective" because some drugs cannot penetrate the skin, so they cannot penetrate the blood The micro needle on the painless injection patch can reach the subcutaneous tissue directly, achieving the same effect as the traditional syringe The market is promising
    the market price of painless injection patches is largely determined by the price of the drugs installed inside Technically, because patches largely replicate the HP inkjet printer cartridge principle, the price is not high "Inkjet and spray - it's not that different in nature," O'Dee said "
    HP is not the first company to try to "reinvent" existing patents to make a profit In recent years, Palo Alto has also sought ways to innovate and leverage existing technologies and equipment to increase revenue for the company HP is also unstinting in its transfer of patent rights "We encourage companies like Crospon to innovate HP's intellectual property patents to enable more people to benefit from significant technologies," Byers said By applying the printer's core technology to drug-injected products, HP is feeling the rapid growth of the healthcare and life sciences markets, as well as the freshness of mature technology " (Xia Yi)
