PillCap 智能药瓶 全套注塑零部件

case hover image

一开始,PillCap智能药瓶的制造需求只有1000个,我们找了不少厂家都嫌量少不愿意做,更别提POC(概念验证)了。直到遇上了Xometry 择幂科技,其按需制造的理念承诺了1件也可以定制,这满足了我们团队所期待的灵活性,也能满足快速变化的开发进度和要求。

陈凯伦 COO 联达时代(Nexusera)

根据2021年中国医疗改革联合研究报告显示,中国有近3亿慢性病患者。加之突如其来的疫情也让全民正式进入了“养生时代”。无论是慢病患者还是养生达人,都要面临一个“刚需”问题,那就是服药。为了能让患者按时吃药,保证患者的长期健康,为医药及健康服务企业提供药物依从性管理及数据解决方案的联达时代(Nexusera)一直致力于通过科技创新来提高患者的用药依从性。“没有全民健康,就没有全面小康。”健康问题总是任重而道远。

服药依从性是全病程治疗中的一个需要解决的关键问题

服药依从性是全病程治疗中的一个需要解决的关键问题。全球约50%的服药人口无法遵医嘱服药,28%患者首次获得处方后忘记续药。WHO也曾发表一份近200页的针对依从性的报告,指出不依从成因及其带来的危害,呼吁加强对依从性管理的认识及解决措施。如果有这样一个智能服药终端,既可以存储药物,又可以像闹钟一样定时提醒患者服药;甚至还能帮助患者提供合理用药的建议——那应该就是解决依从性的钥匙。另外,智能终端收集的患者日常服药行为以及其它数据,是药企、CRO、健康管理机构的真实世界研究以及智能健康管理的重要甚至主要依据。

联达时代的PillCap智能药瓶是他们三款智能终端产品中主打性价比的一款,主要用在有一定健康意识,接受疾病管理意愿比较强的用户场景中,其核心能力是感知瓶盖的开合并通过蓝牙实现数据通信,且具有90天超长续航时间。值得一提的是,它的瓶盖具有极强的兼容性,能够适配市面上多种药瓶。

然而定制这样一个药瓶并非一帆风顺。“一个合格制造供应商应该具有标准的规范性,并且和客户保持良好的沟通,才能确保产品输出的质量。同时进度必须严格执行,否则产品交期总是延迟是难以接受的。这些方面上,择幂科技的专业服务提供了很好的示范。” 联达时代COO陈凯伦指出。

采用Xometry择幂科技的注塑成型服务后,联达时代PillCap智能药瓶出货效率提升了72%!

在联达时代与Xometry择幂相遇之前,规范性差、质量问题、沟通困难、交期延迟等制造问题一直困扰着联达时代。作为一个小而精的团队,联达时代更希望能将团队精力聚焦在产品设计和研发上,而让产品的制造过程能够简单直接,沟通方便,并且尽快的拿到成品。避免直接接触工厂带来的繁琐反复沟通,能够为小团队节省更多的人力去做更值得做的事情。

“一开始,PillCap智能药瓶的制造需求只有1000个,我们找了不少厂家都嫌量少不愿意做,更别提POC(概念验证)了。直到遇上了择幂科技,其按需制造的理念承诺了1件也可以定制,这满足了我们团队所期待的灵活性,也能满足快速变化的开发进度和要求。” 陈凯伦表示。

择幂的按需制造模式有助于我们高效整合供应链,对于我们团队来说,是选择自己事无巨细的去揽下所有制造的事情,还是选择一个省心省力且无后顾之忧的研发和采购体验,答案是显而易见的。”她非常认可择幂科技在供应链整合上的价值。

另一方面,有时候在制造过程中不可避免有需求调整,择幂科技一直秉持以客户的需求为导向的服务宗旨,急客户之所急。陈凯伦对此深有感触:“Xometry择幂科技的工程师非常积极主动帮助我们解决问题,提前通知我们在什么时间点需要准备什么样的文件,否则就会影响进度。在向客户交付的过程中,我们曾出现其他供应商将开关装反的小插曲,择幂科技迅速地帮我们加急了新一批备件,及时帮助我们避免了意外情况导致的交付延迟。”

联达时代希望以硬件和APP为抓手建立一个高度智能的连接医疗服务方和病患的依从性管理和数字化疾病管理平台

联达时代希望以硬件和APP为抓手建立一个高度智能的连接医疗服务方和病患的依从性管理和数字化疾病管理平台。PillCap智能药瓶解决方案通过患者端智能设备及配套应用以极低的价格(affordability),能够提高服药依从性、保证药疗发挥、促进药品复购,同时以数字化手段连接患者与服务提供端,让更加专业化、个性化的医疗健康服务成为可能,为企业及机构提供完整、清晰、及时、深刻且易用的患者服药数据及行为习惯,助力产品与服务升级。据了解,目前联达时代已与诸多国际知名药企、临床研究机构、养老机构以及疾病管理机构合作,智能服药硬件销量火爆。

Xometry is the company that made it the easiest. I talked to a few different companies, and Xometry felt like the best fit for me. A lot of these decisions do come down to who do I want to work with long term, so who do I get the best feeling from and who feels like they understand the product and are excited about it and want to be involved as well.

Xometry proved to be able to maintain good contact and provide fast and professional valuation of any manufacturing job. In many cases the engineers from Xometry did help by consulting on technologies Harpo could use to produce certain elements. The elements Xometry produced for the innovative device were delivered in a short time and for a fair price. The aluminum parts were CNC milled and post-processed by black anodizing.

Finding a competent supplier was a key requirement for me, so I started looking around and found Xometry that seemed to cater for absolutely everything I was looking for, but I couldn’t believe they could produce all the parts I needed so well and so inexpensively. When the first boxes arrived in January, I was afraid to open them, because if the quality wasn’t good enough I wouldn't have anywhere else to go to. But when I put it together, you simply can’t imagine how accurate it was. It is a wonderful experience to use Xometry as a supplier, I don’t have to worry about the quality anymore. I’ve done my job as an engineer, you’ve done yours as a supplier, we are ready to assist in fighting this terrible pandemic.
