Aerosol delivery system and method

A method of providing aerosolized fluid to a patient, comprising:

• tracking one or both of a breathing cycle and a ventilation cycle of a patient using one or more sensors positioned externally to a respiratory circuit of the patient;
• identifying a start timing and an end timing of an inhalation of the patient based on tracking data from the one or more sensors;
• and
• vibrating a vibratable member of an aerosolization device to aerosolize a liquid medicament over a time period for the inhalation, wherein:
• the time period begins at a predetermined time prior to a start of the inhalation and ends at a predetermined time prior to an end of the inhalation;
• and
• the predetermined time prior to the start of the inhalation comprises a time between 1% and 30% before the start of the inhalation with respect to a duration of the inhalation.
