Title:
MONITORING OF NEBULIZER USAGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/004559
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring and/or data-logging nebulizer usage and/or other parameters pertinent to a patient use a conduit that is fluidly coupled between a pressure source, such as a compressor, and a nebulizer, such as a jet nebulizer. During use of the nebulizer by a patient, a compressed medium such as air is transferred through the conduit, thereby altering the pressure level within the conduit. Changes in pressure level may be measured and/or detected, and subsequently used to determine one or more nebulizer usage parameters. These nebulizer usage parameters may in turn be recorded and/or analyzed.
