Adults with overweight/obesity (n = 85) or type 2 diabetes (n = 65) performed simulated injections after standardized training. Endpoints included injection completeness, task durations, and user feedback via the Injection Device Experience and Acceptability–Ease of Use and Convenience Questionnaire (IDEA-ECQ; content validity supported by cognitive interviews, n = 50). All but one participant completed the injection successfully. Median training time was 3 minutes, and time to prepare and inject was 15 seconds. Participants rated the device easy/very easy to use (100%), easy/very easy to learn (98.7%), and an injection with the pen convenient (99.3%). Results were consistent across populations and unaffected by prior device experience.
