Redefining Patient-Centric Drug Delivery: A Closer Look At Vertiva On-Body Delivery System

By Anna Allegro

Six on-body delivery systems have reached the market since 2016, and every one requires patients to fill or load a cartridge before injecting. Anna Allegro, a Product Manager at Stevanato Group who specializes in these devices, examines how that step affects error risk when patients are likely at their most nervous, and why some user-loaded devices have since been discontinued. She also covers a 12-participant UK patient preference study that compared a ready-to-use design with a user-loaded one, and which attributes mattered most to participants. A look at the supply chain collaboration behind the platform rounds out the discussion.
