US 2020/0268285 A1 · NEBULIZING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS HAVING BIOMETRIC DATA ACQUISITION AND MONITORING CAPABILITIES

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to devices and systems for administering pharmaceutical, monitored and/or biological agents via nebulization to a subject. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides devices, methods and systems for bio-metric and diagnostic data acquisition and patient monitoring before, during, and after the nebulization and administration of pharmaceutical, monitored and/or biological agents to a subject. In yet other embodiments, devices, systems and methods disclosed herein provide for delivery of agents where patients have an increased level of control over the delivery of their medication and by providing healthcare providers with meaningful and accurate biomctric and diagnostic data during treatment.

Dependent claims

An agent delivery and biometric data acquisition device comprising:

a housing unit;
a power source;
a processor and memory;
at least one scanner operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor verifies an identify of a subject based upon information obtained by the at least one scanner;
an accessory module interface for coupling a nebulizing unit to the device,
a nebulizing unit facilitating delivery of one or more agents to the subject;
at least one biometric sensor for sensing biometric data of the subject, wherein the biometric data is sensed and acquired during at least one of prior to, during, and after administering the one or more pharmaceutical agents to the subject, wherein the biometric data is stored in memory;
and
at least one biometric data transfer port.
