An inhaler comprises a housing, an air channel extending between at least one air inlet opening and a suction opening in the housing, a dispensing element for vaporizing or nebulizing liquid supplied to the dispensing element for admixing with air flowing in the air channel, an electronic control device, an electronic data memory, and a sensor system comprising a flow measuring device for measuring the volumetric and/or mass flow of air flowing through the air channel. The electronic control device is adapted to capture a plurality of airflow measurement values over at least a portion of the duration of an inhalation puff by means of the flow measurement device, compare the plurality of airflow measurement values to a puff profile stored in the data memory, and output a control signal based on the comparison of the plurality of airflow measurement values to the stored puff profile.
An inhaler comprising a housing, an air channel extending between at least one air inlet opening and a suction opening (24) in the housing, a dispensing element for nebulizing or vaporizing liquid supplied to the dispensing element for admixture to air flowing in the air channel, an electronic control device, an electronic data memory and a sensor system comprising a flow measuring device for measuring the volumetric and/or mass flow of the airflow flowing through the air channel, wherein the electronic control device is adapted to capture a plurality of airflow measurement values over at least a portion of the duration of an inhalation puff by means of the flow measurement device, to compare the plurality of airflow measurement values to a puff profile stored in the data memory, and to output a control signal based on the comparison of the plurality of airflow measurement values to the stored puff profile.
