A low profile and volumetrically efficient medication delivery device configured to be placed on the body of a patient during fluid delivery to the patient is provided. The device incorporates a low profile actuator assembly that causes fluid delivery by displacing a collapsible reservoir in response to receiving an electrical current or charge input from a programmable controller and a power supply. Additional components help prevent drug theft or abuse, measure actuator pressure, displacement and temperature in real time providing active feedback to the controller that is controlling the actuator. The device also has wireless communication capabilities. |
