Abstract
A method for controlling dosing of droplet delivery device includes providing a droplet delivery device, such as an inhaler, to a user, verifying a location of the user with the droplet delivery device, such as by GPS, and enabling dosing of the drug in droplets ejected from the device based on the verifying of the location of the user.
