A medication administration device is provided. The device has a flexible tube having an administration end, an activation end and a lumen between the ends. An administration assembly is attached to the administration end. An activation assembly is attached to the activation end. A syringe is disposed within the lumen. The syringe contains the medication and has a first end and an opposite second end. A plunger is disposed within the lumen and operatively connected to the first end of the syringe. A rupturable seal is provided to the second end of the syringe, which end is approximate to the administration end. The activation assembly activates the plunger to break the rupturable seal to establish a fluid communication between the second end of the syringe and the administration assembly. Accordingly, transportation of the medication from the syringe to the medication administration assembly through the medication administration end is allowed.

1. A wearable device for administering medication to a subject, comprising: a flexible tube comprising a medication administration end and an activation end, the flexible tube defining a lumen between the medication administration end and the activation end;a medication administration assembly attached to the medication administration end, wherein the medication administration assembly comprises a needle in fluid communication with the medication administration end, wherein the needle has a first position where the needle is retracted within the medication administration assembly; anda second position where the needle extends out of the medication administration assembly, thereby allowing insertion of the needle into the subject to administer the medication to the subject,wherein the medication administration further comprises a secondary rupturable seal provided to an end of the medication administration assembly, said end being distal to the medication administration end of the flexible tube, wherein the needle punctures the second rupturable seal when the needle is at the second position,wherein the needle is spring-biased within the medication administration assembly when the needle is at the first position;an activation assembly attached to the activation end, wherein the activation assembly comprises: a force generator for generating a force to move the plunger within the lumen, in a direction from the activation end to the medication administration end of the flexible tube; andan activator operatively connected to the force generator to control the force generator,wherein the force generator is either a cartridge containing pressurized fluid, or a spring,wherein the activator comprises a button for controlling the release of the pressurized fluid into the lumen, when the force generator is a cartridge containing pressurized fluid;a syringe disposed within the lumen, wherein the syringe contains the medication and comprises a first end and an opposite second end;a plunger disposed within the lumen and operatively connected to the first end of the syringe; anda rupturable seal provided to the second end of the syringe, the second end of the syringe being approximate to the medication administration end,wherein the activation assembly is configured to activate the plunger and break the rupturable seal, such that a fluid communication is established between the second end of the syringe and the medication administration assembly to allow transportation of the medication from the syringe to the medication administration assembly through the medication administration end. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the medication administration end and the activation end of the flexible tube are configured to operatively approach each other to form a partial loop of the flexible tube. 3. The device of claim 2, further comprising a cover member, into which the medication administration end and the activation end of the flexible tube, the medication administration assembly, and the activation assembly are received to form a closed loop. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the needle moves to the second position upon the activation of the plunger and the breakage of the rupturable seal. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the plunger forms an airtight seal within the syringe, such that when the plunger is activated by the activation assembly, a pressure is applied to the medication within the syringe by the plunger, the pressure being sufficient to break the rupturable seal. 6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a cap for covering the button, the cap being pivotably mounted to the activator through a hinge. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising at least one vent provided to the flexible tube, through which the pressurized fluid is released from the lumen. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the plunger forms an airtight seal within the lumen. 9. The device of claim 1, further comprising at least one tag removably attached to the flexible tube, the tag being representative of information related to at least one of a medical condition of the subject and the medication.
