What do we have?

The anoDyne microneedle an ingenious little gizmo, the size of your thumb, that can help keep people alive. This small device, once it comes to market, will bring medications like insulin, preloaded and pre-measured, to millions of people suffering from chronic conditions like diabetes.

It’s a break-through in the world of healthcare delivery, and it’s protected by patents in over 33 countries, with more on the wa

The anoDyne microneedle puts medications into your body with a tiny needle that goes only as far as the gap between your skin layers. That’s really, really tiny. About 1 mm or .04 of an inch. No nerve endings live here, but there’s lots of fluid that circulating through your body. It’s this fluid that carries the insulin rapidly into your bloodstream, faster and better than any traditional needle can.


And, it doesn’t hurt. That right. It’s virtually painless!

How does it work?

After your doctor prescribes it, you pick up a package of the anoDyne microneedle devices at the pharmacy, all pre-loaded for you (or your child), measured with your meds and ready to go. They’re disposable, and each one can be used only once. The tiny needle retracts after you’ve pushed it into your skin, and locks into place so it can’t be used again. By anybody.








Where do you use it?

Just about anywhere you have skin. You can use it on a diabetic child who, once they see it doesn’t hurt and takes seconds, will be happy to come to you for their anoDyne microneedle medicine. So easy to use, a senior can use it with comfort.

Did you know that fully 27 percent of people who rely on daily needles – children, seniors, and everyone in between - has a phobia about them? They cringe at the thought and this can affect their willingness to take their life-saving meds.

The anoDyne microneedle takes care of that. It’s wonderfully simple to use, and can be hidden in a pocket or purse because it’s so small. You’ll be able to use it sitting in class, and in one smooth move simply inject yourself by placing it against your thigh, for example, and depressing the tiny plunger. 

You will be able to use it at an office, discretely and quietly, under your desk. You can even use it during a meeting, and no-one will know! 

Then, you simply pop it in the wastebasket. No-one else can ever use it, so it’s safe for you, and safe for anybody who might accidentally pick it up after you’ve used it. 


So, why isn’t it on the market, you ask?

How can I get it?


We’re nearly there.

This is where you come in, and together, with your donation, we can bring this life-changing device to the world. Your contribution will help us reach our $100,000 goal so we can pay for clinical trials at Mount Sinai Services in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

If the clinical trials are successful, we will be one step closer to making the product available for everyone.


But we do need your help.


We’ve already done lots of trials (http://www.pkasofttouch.com/index) and have patents all over the world, with more to come. Patents are really important, because it means no-one else can copy the anoDyne microneedle secret technology.

Here are some of the perks we have to thank you for helping us bring this revolutionary device into the hands of people who need it:



Okay, so far it all sounds great, but who is behind it?

We want to assure you that we are not just some fly-by-night outfit with a great idea.  We’ve done our homework. We’ve been working on this device since 2005 – it’s already been through four generations of development. The final, perfected device is the one we’ll be testing. We’re headed by an engineer/entrepreneur (Dick Crawford) with a proven track record in designing manufacturing plants for pharmaceutical companies, and by a well-known doctor/scientist with a long list of accomplishments and inventions to his name.

That guy is Pankaj Modi. This world-renowned inventor, scientist and doctor (yes, he’s all three) created anoDyne microneedle after years of suffering through needles himself – he’s a Type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at 16.

When he got his own diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, Dr. Modi promised himself that one day he would find another way, and in the process help other parents who have to give their child needles every day.


And that’s exactly what he did.


Dick and Dr. Modi – a fantastic partnership

As we’ve said, it didn’t happen overnight. In 2005, equipped with his first prototype, Dr. Modi searched for an entrepreneur to help him bring the device to market. He found that person in Dick Crawford, an engineer and owner of a design and construction company in Peterborough, Ontario that specialized in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants.

Modi liked the fact that Dick’s design for a new pharmaceutical plant, constructed to produce another of the doctor’s inventions – an insulin puffer – passed the uber-strict U.S. FDA regulations with flying colors.

So Modi and Dick met at an Ancaster, Ontario restaurant, and over dinner

Dr.Modi said, “I have a project for you and you can’t say no.”

“I knew he was a diabetic,” says Dick today. “And I knew he wanted to get this product on the market where it belongs – into the hands of parents of children with diabetes, into the hands of teenagers like JJ, and into the hands of caregivers of elderly diabetics.”

The two, with other partners in design and testing and patent preparation, have burned the midnight oil developing the anoDyne microneedle for over nine years.

Dick’s given over 80 presentations on the device in four countries – Canada, the U.S. the U.K. and Germany. He’s landed 31 patents, with more coming. Tons of testing has been done. http://www.pkasofttouch.com/index


Who Has Helped So Far

So while we worked away diligently to perfect the device, a combination of investors and government grants helped us to raise funds to bring us to where we are today. Our investors, many of them local to our home in Peterborough, Ontario, put money into the company because they believe in our vision.

And here’s that vision, in three parts:

  1. Design and develop a cost-effective, non-invasive medical device technology for the treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes.
  2. Develop the product for entry into the worldwide insulin market based on PKA SoftTouch experience with insulin. (That’s now, and you get to be part of it) and
  3. Improve the quality of life and enhanced value for patients by painless injections of life saving drugs.

Diabetes affects over 380 million people worldwide and by 2035 that number will climb by 55 percent. International Diabetes Federation.


Please, take a moment now and think of someone in your life who is affected by a chronic disease like diabetes. Think about how the anoDyne microneedle could make their lives so much easier. Pick a donation level, get your reward, and smile, knowing that today you’ve done a very good thing.

We promise to keep you updated on our progress. These trials you are helping to fund will measure the effectiveness of the delivery of the meds, and the patient’s pain tolerance compared to a traditional syringe (which really, really hurts).

Help us make the anoDyne microneedle shine

Thank You.
