Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to a system for monitoring an inhaler that includes a volume of medicament for dispensation to an individual. The system includes a transmitter, disposed at the inhaler, for wirelessly transmitting data relating to the aspect of the inhaler. A monitor, which is remote from the transmitter and the inhaler, includes a receiver for receiving the data wirelessly transmitted from the transmitter, the data relating to the aspect of the inhaler including positional data relating to a relative position of the inhaler relative to the monitor and in particular a distance separating the inhaler and the monitor. The monitor also includes a processor for determining whether the distance separating the inhaler and the monitor exceeds a predetermined distance, the processor causing actuation of a notification device upon determining that the distance separating the inhaler and the monitor exceeds the predetermined distance.
