"The idea of allowing patients to continue treatment at home whenever the form of therapy allows is invaluable. We strongly believe that access to healthcare should be as convenient and easy as possible, especially for patients who are in an already challenging situation, for example during or after cancer therapy," says Maike Wolf, Head of Innovation at Gerresheimer.

Innovative solutions for drug delivery
Gerresheimer aims to improve the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of home therapy with its innovative containment and drug delivery systems for the delivery of liquid medications. In addition, the company is also working on the integration of digital technologies and remote monitoring capabilities to provide patients with seamless care and support. 

To date, many patients with a wide variety of indications have to endure long and stressful infusions in a hospital setting to treat their condition. How much easier would it be if patients could receive treatment at home? The on-body drug delivery device Gx SensAir® makes life easier for these patients, as they can take care of themselves over a longer period of time and – depending on the indication – only need to visit the doctor or hospital for check-ups. Gx SensAir® is an innovative product platform for the delivery of large-volume and highly viscous biologics.

Ekipa’s HealthTech Innovation Program calls for the development of new approaches or the application of existing solutions to jointly build sustainable and digital healthcare.
