Flow Measurement in Smart Medical Inhalers

Inhalers are among the most commonly used devices for treating respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). With each inhalation through the inhaler, the device delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs. However, it is commonly misused because patients often have problems adopting the correct inhaler technique and thus receive insufficient medication. This leads to poor disease control and increased healthcare costs.
