Engineering Smart Inhalers for Asthma Management
View through CrossRef
Asthma, a chronic respiratory condition affecting approximately 12% of the global population, is primarily managed using inhalers that deliver medication directly to the lungs. However, traditional inhalers face significant challenges related to patient adherence, correct usage, and accessibility. In recent years, smart inhalers, equipped with sensors and connectivity features, have emerged as a promising solution. These devices are designed to enhance medication adherence, provide real-time feedback, and monitor patient behavior through data analytics. This review examines the role of smart inhalers in asthma management, discussing their key components, benefits, and clinical efficacy. Additionally, it highlights ongoing research, future directions, and potential improvements to optimize the functionality of these devices for better patient outcomes.
