Dear all

We are two engineering students from the Technical University of Denmark and are writing our master thesis. We both have great experience and interest in product development of medical equipment. In corporation with the Danish company Bang & Olufsen Medicom an exciting objective was formed. The object is to develop a new and better injection device, that meets the requirements of the end users in regard to features, number of user steps, intuitiveness, safety, ergonomics, design etc. Our goal is to have a prototype ready by August 2009 and we hope that Bang & Olufsen Medicom will get to take the device through to the next levels and ultimately, an implementation on the market.

This injection device will be designed for you, meeting your needs. In regards to this we would like to know a bit about you and have you evaluate some different possible features in an injection device.

We have made a questionnaire that should take no longer then 5 min to fill out. The questionnaire can be found by the link below.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=BmKMqo5m_2fjv98KCdo5LU2w_3d_3d

By answering this questionnaire you will have influence on the design of the next generation of injection devices.

IMPORTANT:  You should only answer the questionnaire if you have experience with self injection!!!

We hope that you will use a couple of minutes to fill in this questionnaire, and thereby helping us, to help you :-)

Best regards Jens Gad and Morten Karlsen

Thanks for the answers that we already have received, keep them coming

can you make it so that the needle is so fine that there's little pain?I haven't used one yet but the sure clicks look so big and bulky. I'd like to see one more stream lined.I don't have time to fill out a survey right now; but I will say that I've switched back to the regular syring. The quick click comes out at such a fast rate of speed that the force of the medication going in is far more painful to me than the old fashion syring. How bout one that can be mixed with tequlia and injected into the mouth?
