Zusammenfassung:Tracking the use of an inhaler having a body in which a canister of respiratory medication is mounted. The body also having a mouthpiece through which medication is inhaled. Mounting a flexible shell over the body of the inhaler, sensing activation of the canister with an inhaler use sensor, storing inhaler use data in a memory embedded in the shell, and wirelessly transmitting stored inhaler use data by a communications component embedded in the shell. The flexible shell is mounted to the inhaler body so that the shell may be removed from the inhaler body and attached to a different inhaler body thereby allowing multiple use of the flexible shell.
