Abstract
This invention relates to a doser comprising a syringe (2) with a needle (3) which extends beyond the doser (1), which comprises an engagement face (4) in the vicinity of the needle so that the engagement face rests against the surface of the tissue into which the needle is inserted. Detector means (5) are provided on said engagement face to sample signals on the skin of the patient. The invention further provides means (13) for receiving external information related to health monitoring of a patient. This provides a doser that may record heart rate, EKG, BGM and hypo-alarm administered medicine. The doser may further be arranged to calculate an appropriate dose of medication on the basis of a number of acquired inputs.
