Abstract
Provided is a system () for determining a probability of an asthma exacerbation in a subject. The system comprises an inhaler () for delivering a rescue medicament to the subject. The inhaler has a use-detection system (B) configured to determine a rescue inhalation performed by the subject using the first inhaler. A sensor system (A) is configured to measure a parameter relating to airflow during the rescue inhalation. The system further comprises a processor () configured to determine a number of the rescue inhalations during a first time period, and receive the parameter measured for at least some of the rescue inhalations. The processor determines, using a weighted model, the probability of the asthma exacerbation based on the number of rescue inhalations and the parameters. The model is weighted such that the number of rescue inhalations is more significant in the probability determination than the parameters.
