Zusammenfassung:A smart syringe (200), including a disposable body and a smart cap (250) is provided. The disposable body includes a barrel (210), a stopper (220), and a plunger rod (225) attached to the stopper. The smart cap (250) is configured to be attached to the plunger (225) and comprises a sensor (446) which senses a movement of the plunger rod (225), an indicator (256/460/462), a communication module (458), and a power supply (468). The communication module (458) is configured to communicate with an external device (350). Data output from the sensor (446) may be transmitted to the external device (350) in order to determine a dose provided to a patient. Alternately, a microcontroller (450) in the smart cap (250) may determine an amount of a dose provided to a patient based on data output from the sensor (446), and information of the dose may be transmitted to the external device (350).
