Drug-delivery systems configured to generate indications regarding a user's level of skill, familiarity, or experience with operating such systems are described. The systems may comprise a syringe assembly, one or more skin contact sensors, and one or more syringe assembly sensors configured to detect initiation and/or completion of a dispensing event. The system may further comprise one or more processing circuits configured to measure a time duration between when the skin contact sensor(s) detect contact with skin tissue and when the syringe assembly initiates a dispensing event, compare the measured duration against a threshold time duration, and generate a user indication signal if the measured duration exceeds the threshold time duration.
