MyDx Files Patents & Is Now Accepting Preorders For The ECOSmartPen™

The ECO Smart Pen^TM by MyDx is a next generation, rechargeable delivery pen with Bluetooth technology capable of monitoring dosages and consumer feedback. The ECO Smart Pen also comes equipped with remote access and child safety protection via the EcoSmartPen App and is designed to help patients and consumers better manage and regulate their cannabis consumption habits, while protecting their children from unsupervised use.

A Game-Changing Innovation That Helps to Raise the Standard of Safety in Cannabis

MyDx's patents cover the delivery pen's child-safety locks, dosage control and tracking and related technologies unique to the next-generation delivery pen that monitors how many doses or "puffs" it takes for strains/formulas to take effect per individual – personalized medicine. This information is stored passively or actively, depending on the user, and is complimentary to the MyDx ecosystem, which includes its testing devices, software and services.

Since late 2015, MyDx has worked diligently to help consumers better understand what they put into their bodies and empower them to take charge of their marijuana consumption habits. Its handheld tester is used all over the world to identify and track how those strains impact its users. Approaching 3,000 testers in circulation, MyDx has built, and continues to build upon, a comprehensive database of user and consumption information that is now being used to drive policy; educate and inform industry stakeholders such as doctors, consumers, entrepreneurs, and politicians; and, promote a higher level of public safety and concern.

MyDx is the only company in the world that actively tracks and analyzes (in real time) how strains impact consumers and alleviate ailments. While this is important to the legitimacy of the industry, given the current lack of oversight, it's also a public safety concern. That's when it occurred to the MyDx Team that more needed to be done, especially for those with debilitating ailments.

"Today, doctors only offer prescriptions for medicinal marijuana, generally. They don't provide any recommendations on what to use and when and how to use it. And that's a public safety problem. We know from our data that not all cannabis is the same (not even the names), which is why our customers use our handheld testers. But the one piece of data we didn't have was knowing how much of a certain chemical profile it took to achieve its desired effect. Hence the creation of the ECO Smart Pen," said Daniel Yazbeck, CEO of MyDx. "We will not only offer patients a way to Trust & Verify® their products, but, with the ECO Smart Pen, they will be able to determine for themselves how much they need to consume to achieve their desired effect. In combination with MyDx360, doctors and administrators will also be able to better monitor their patient's habits and offer more targeted prescriptions."

Lack of Industry Research

Despite the rising tide of marijuana legalization sweeping across North America, research still lags reform, which is counter to how, generally, research informs reform. Moreover, according to KPMG's report on Improving Medical Marijuana Management in Canada, "the quality of clinical data has been inconsistent and there are significant gaps in understanding of the therapeutic efficacy for many conditions." Consequently, the industry is moving forward without complete regard to patient and public safety and that's a problem for consumers, especially those using marijuana to address specific ailments.

With the addition of the ECO Smart Pen to the MyDx Ecosystem, MyDx will capture and house the most comprehensive dataset of marijuana consumption in the world. This new data will then inform the company's foray into identifying green active biopharmaceuticals (gAPI).

How the ECO Smart Pen Works

Passive Monitoring
The ECO Smart Pen^TM immediately activates the MyDx App via bluetooth as soon as you inhale from any compatible brand cartridge. Once the brand information is submitted, the pen will then passively monitor your consumption habits, such as frequency of use since purchase as well as dosage.

Active Monitoring
Once you begin using the product, you'll be able to actively track which ailments the product relieved and/or feelings it generated and how many doses it took to generate those feelings and/or reliefs.

Software As A Service (SAAS)
Manufacturers, Doctors and the like will be able to use MyDx Software on a private label basis to monitor and manage their respective user groups under a subscription-based model, which will be tiered for varying levels of access to user data and analytics.
