Zusammenfassung:An inhalation device may include a canister elongate along a longitudinal axis, the canister containing medicament. The inhalation device may also include a movable inner housing that is configured to move with the canister when the medication canister is moved to administer a dose of medicament. The inhalation device may include an electronics module comprising a processor, a power supply, a sensor, and a plurality of contact pads. Further, the inhalation device may include a switch contact affixed to the moveable inner housing. In response to movement of the movable inner housing, the switch contact may be configured to move from a first position where the switch contact is not contacting the plurality contact pads to a second position where the switch contact is contacting at least one of the plurality of contact pads to change a power state of one or more of the processor and sensor.
