Abstract
A system and method for monitoring use of a respiratory device, such as a dry powder inhaler, comprise a tracking module adaptable to be temporarily mounted to the respiratory device, and reusable with other respiratory devices. Inhalation medication delivery and air flow through the respiratory device are monitored for the determination of proper respiratory device use. Other data such as location, orientation, shaking, and environmental data are sensed and stored. Low power devices are used to conserve battery power. An app for connection with mobile devices is provided.
