Abstract
A method for estimating an inhale dose when a drug is delivered to a person using an inhaler is disclosed. A predicted inhale dose (PID) of the drug is estimated based on at least one first-type parameter and at least one second-type parameter. The first-type parameter is related to a breath pattern of the person, and the second-type parameter is related to the inhaler.
Claims24
A method for estimating an inhale dose when a drug is delivered to a person using an inhaler, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first-type parameter related to a breath pattern of the person;
- obtaining a second-type parameter related to the inhaler;
- and
- estimating a predicted inhale dose of the drug based on the first-type parameter and the second-type parameter.
An apparatus for estimating an inhale dose when a drug is delivered to a person using an inhaler, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions thereon, wherein the processor is capable of executing the instructions to perform the steps of:
- obtaining a first-type parameter related to a breath pattern of the person;
- obtaining a second-type parameter related to the inhaler;
- and
- estimating a predicted inhale dose of the drug based on the first-type parameter and the second-type parameter.
A non-transitory storage medium with instructions stored thereon for estimating an inhale dose when a drug is delivered to a person using an inhaler, wherein a processor is capable of executing the instructions to perform the following steps:
- obtaining a first-type parameter related to a breath pattern of the person;
- obtaining a second-type parameter related to the inhaler;
- and
- estimating a predicted inhale dose of the drug based on the first-type parameter and the second-type parameter.
A method for delivering a drug to a person using an inhaler, comprising:
- inputting information related to the type of an inhaler;
- measuring a breath pattern of the person;
- and
- determining an inhale dose according to a predicted inhale dose of the drug, wherein the predicted inhale dose of the drug is estimated based on a first-type parameter related to a breath pattern of the person and the second-type parameter related to the inhaler.
