Veta smart case & app for epinephrine auto-injectors

Veta includes Veta Smart Cases which replace stock epinephrine auto-injector cases and incorporate electronics and sensors to monitor the proximity, presence and removal, temperature, and expiry of auto-injectors.

Veta Smart Cases connect via Bluetooth to Veta App (available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android mobile devices), which then connects through a cloud-enabled infrastructure to share real-time status and alerts with the user’s support circle.

This infrastructure provides a variety of connected benefits for those carrying epinephrine auto-injectors, as well as family and friends in their support circle.

Approximately 40 million people have a serious, potentially anaphylactic allergy to food, bee stings, and latex in the US alone. Avoiding allergen triggers is complex and daily vigilance is difficult, but Veta introduces a number of critical support features, including the following:

• Removal Alerts to indicate when the auto-injector is removed from Veta Smart Case as well as sharing information about the user’s location to the user’s support circle
• Separation Alerts to notify when the auto-injectors have been left behind
• FindMe Locator to locate misplaced auto-injectors quickly and easily using a map and by activating the smart case’s flashing lights and beeping sounds
• Temperature Monitor to notify the user when the auto-injector’s temperature is not within the range set by the user
• Expiry Watch to warn about approaching expiry dates that could affect the integrity of epinephrine inside the auto-injector
• Support Circles that allow individuals and families to stay connected to support someone living with anaphylaxis and provide comfort and assistance in the event of a reaction

“Veta is an easy-to-use, yet sophisticated and secure, anaphylaxis management system that provides rapid notifications during an allergic reaction as well as ongoing monitoring of auto-injectors,” said Alex Leyn, CEO of Aterica.

“We’re pleased to announce that Veta is now available for purchase. With Veta Smart Case & App, individuals and families living with anaphylaxis have an extra layer of protection in life-threatening situations, along with reassurance in their daily lives.”

Currently, Veta Smart Case is compatible with EPIPEN, EPIPEN JR and Mylan’s authorised generics to EPIPEN auto-injectors.
