Disclosed herein are techniques related to safeguards against usage of incorrect portable medicine delivery devices. Such techniques may be practiced for a plurality of portable medicine delivery devices that include a first device and a second device. The techniques may involve obtaining usage data indicative of the first device being manipulated in preparation for medicine delivery. The techniques may further involve determining, based on the usage data, that the first device is mistakenly being manipulated instead of the second device. The technique may also involve, responsive to determining that the first device is mistakenly being manipulated, generating a message to prevent medicine delivery by the first device.
