Development Process of a Medicinal Cannabidiol Dosing Pen

Abstract

Inhalation devices that allow controlled administration of active ingredients are undergoing constant technological evolution. In Brazil, there is a demand for devices that meet the requirements of this treatment modality, as it enables more precise application and improved dose management. The present study describes the development process employed in the medicinal cannabidiol dosing pen, an inhalation device designed for medical treatments with vaporized cannabidiol. Its functionality, based on controlled and standardized doses prescribed by medical professionals, offers the potential for remote treatment of individuals affected by conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, among others. The method includes a prior art analysis focusing on inhalation-based devices and outlines a prototype development workflow through partial deliverables assigned by the project.
