Abstract
An adherence-monitoring and tracking device captures usage of a metered dose inhaler (MDI). The device includes an enclosure for enclosing a metered dose inhaler (MDI), and an electro-mechanical system forming a part of enclosure to sense and log the operation of the MDI. The electro-mechanical system includes at-least one transducer to capture one or more parameters pertaining to an operation of the MDI by the user. A microcontroller processes the captured parameters, and an output-unit renders data pertaining to operation of the MDI.
