Jointly developed by PHC IVD and JCR Pharma and released for the first time in October 2020, "Meron Diary" is a smartphone application that can wirelessly receive and check the injection history recorded inside the main unit of the "Gloujector" series. By inputting the injection site record and the patient's height and weight data, the growth curve can be automatically created and displayed, and PDF data can be sent to a PC by email. In addition, the "fun function" using avatars aimed at relieving the tension of patients with injections and promoting active treatment^®®(*4)We support patients, their guardians, and healthcare professionals with IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) technology.

With this update, "Meron Diary" can also be used with the newly released "Glow Jector Duo" in September 2023. In addition, a "simple mode" dedicated to treatment support functions has been added with a smart main screen display, and it can be switched from the conventional main screen display "normal mode". In addition, in "Normal Mode", avatar items with fun functions have been expanded. ^®®

By using "Meron Diary" together with "Gloujector Duo" and "Gloujector L", we will contribute to the lifestyle of patients of all ages, support long-term treatment, and improve medication adherence. ^®®®
