RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND METHOD THAT MONITORS MEDICATION FLOW

A respiratory system and method comprise a tracker module adaptable to be secured to a variety of inhalers, the tracker module sensing activation of the medication canister of the inhaler for delivery of medication to a user. The tracker module also senses the rate of inhalation air flow of the user when inhaling medication for determination of proper inhaler use. Upstream and downstream sensors provide flow information to determine quality of the inhalation. A flow sensor is an integral part of the tracking module and can be used on multiple inhalers. Other sensors are provided that monitor user presence at the inhaler, user technique in using the inhaler, and the attitude of the inhaler when it was used. Low power devices are used to conserve battery power. A spirometer provides user lung function data. 呼吸系统和方法包括被适配成固定到各种吸入器的跟踪器模块，跟踪器模块感测吸入器的药物罐的激活，以向用户递送药物。跟踪器模块还感测用户在吸入药物时的吸入空气的流速，用于确定恰当的吸入器使用。上游传感器和下游传感器提供流信息，以确定吸气品质。流传感器是跟踪模块的一体化部件，并且能够在多个吸入器上使用。设置有其它传感器，用于监测在吸入器处的用户存在、用户在使用吸入器方面的技术和吸入器在被使用时的姿势。使用低功率装置，以
