SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRAINING AND MONITORING ADMINISTRATION OF INHALER MEDICATION

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for training and monitoring administration of an inhaler medication. The system includes a mobile computing device that is configured to provide an augmented reality training and monitoring aid for asthma patients. The mobile device is programmed to capture video using a camera and sound recordings using a microphone in order to measure the patient's head position from the video and measure events relating to inhalation and exhalation from the microphone recordings. This real-time data is used to provide real-time testing and monitoring of the patient's technique for using an inhaler and an augmented reality training aid that informs the patients training. The mobile device is configured to collect background information from the patient relating to the patient's control over his or her asthma and can also interface with a back-end computing system for storing and maintaining related information.
