Review On Smart Inhaler for Asthma Management with Integrated Dosing Technology
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Asthma management has traditionally relied on patient adherence to medication regimens and symptom tracking. Recent advancements in technology have led to the development of smart inhalers, which integrate dosing technology with digital health tools to enhance asthma care. This paper presents an overview of a smart inhaler designed to monitor medication use, track environmental triggers, and provide real-time feedback to patients and healthcare providers. The device utilizes Bluetooth connectivity to sync data with a mobile application, allowing users to record symptoms, medication adherence, and peak flow readings. Through data analytics, the inhaler can identify patterns and provide personalized recommendations, aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce exacerbations. Clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of smart inhalers in increasing adherence and improving overall asthma control. This innovative approach not only empowers patients but also facilitates proactive management of asthma, ultimately contributing to enhanced quality of life. Future directions include integration with electronic health records and expansion of features to address diverse patient needs.
