Apparatus, system and method for detecting and monitoring inhalation

Abstract

To provide an interactive apparatus and methods for sensing and measuring real-time characteristic patterns of a subject's use of a dry powder inhalation system.SOLUTION: An inhaler device can be used in a wireless communication mode for communicating with a display in order to assess a subject's use of an inhalation system concurrently with execution of inhalation, and thus the subject's inhalation can be evaluated as well as performance of the inhalation system. The system can also detect identification information of a medicament, its dosage, lot, expiration, etc. and a characteristics profile of a dry powder formulation emitted from the inhalation system in use.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
