Ypsomed and smartpatient partner to connect smart injection devices with digital patient support

Ypsomed and smartpatient, part of Redcare Pharmacy and provider of the MyTherapy digital patient engagement platform, are collaborating to connect Ypsomed’s SmartPilot technology with MyTherapy. The collaboration brings together two parts of the treatment journey for chronic conditions that have traditionally been addressed separately: the moment of drug administration and the ongoing support patients need between injections.

SmartPilot is a reusable add-on that transforms Ypsomed’s YpsoMate autoinjector into a connected drug delivery system, enabling injection-related information to be captured digitally. Through the integration with MyTherapy, this information becomes part of a broader digital patient journey. This connects drug administration with therapy-specific education, medication management and ongoing patient support. 

For pharmaceutical companies, the collaboration is designed to facilitate the integration of self-injection data into established digital patient support programs without the need to build a standalone digital ecosystem for each product.  

Together, SmartPilot and MyTherapy enable pharmaceutical companies to build digital experiences that connect reliable injection-related information with the support patients receive throughout their therapy journey. This includes injection guidance, medication reminders, therapy education, and personalized support based on injection-related information throughout treatment, such as additional training or tailored educational content when needed.  

“Connected self-injection provides valuable insights into how patients interact with their treatment. With SmartPilot, we can add digital connectivity to the injection device. Together with smartpatient, we are creating a scalable solution that enables better support for patients throughout their treatment journey,” said Florian Kühni, Head of Product Area Digital Health at Ypsomed.    

The collaboration builds on both companies’ experience and track record working with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Ypsomed develops and manufactures self-injection systems for customers globally. smartpatient develops direct-to-patient solutions through MyTherapy across multiple therapeutic areas and markets.
