Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for measuring the effectiveness of a dose from an inhaler on a user is disclosed. The inhaler includes a drug container and a dosing mechanism coupled to the drug container to aerate a dose from the drug container. The dosing mechanism provides the aerated dose to the user. A sensor interface is in communication with a physiological sensor. The physiological sensor is attached to a user to sense a physiological response to the dose. Physiological data is sent to the sensor interface. A controller is coupled to the sensor interface to collect the sensed physiological data from the user corresponding to the time that the aerated dose is delivered to the user. The effectiveness of the dose may be determined from the collected data. The dose amount or frequency may be changed or the drug may be changed based on the collected data.
