Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods that may be used to supplement inhaler use.
Claims33
A system comprising:
- circuitry configured to assess one or more parameters associated with flow through at least one flow channel disposed within an inhaler used by a subject to obtain at least one assessed flow value;
- circuitry configured to calculate an amount of propellant that will increase flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed a threshold flow value if the at least one assessed flow value is below the threshold flow value including at least circuitry configured to compare the at least one assessed flow value to a particular threshold flow value related to the subject;
- and
- circuitry configured to dispense at least one agent with the amount of propellant that will cause the flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed the particular threshold flow value.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a non-transitory signal-bearing medium bearing one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processing components, direct performance of operations that include at least:
- assessing one or more parameters associated with flow through at least one flow channel disposed within an inhaler used by a subject to obtain at least one assessed flow value;
- calculating an amount of propellant that will increase flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed a threshold flow value if the at least one assessed flow value is below the threshold flow value;
- and
- dispensing at least one agent with the amount of propellant that will cause the flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed the threshold flow value.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one control unit operatively configured to control a flow propellant from a propellant reservoir, the at least one control unit including at least one processor and a memory bearing one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one control unit to perform operations including at least:
- assess one or more parameters associated with flow through at least one flow channel disposed within an inhaler used by a subject to obtain at least one assessed flow value;
- calculate an amount of propellant that will increase flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed a threshold flow value if the at least one assessed flow value is below the threshold flow value including at least circuitry configured to compare the at least one assessed flow value to a particular threshold flow value related to the subject;
- and
- dispense at least one agent with the amount of propellant that will cause the flow through the at least one flow channel to meet or exceed the particular threshold flow value.
