CN-121985975-A - ARI intelligent respiratory system inhaler with integrated mist storage tank

Abstract

An ARI smart respiratory inhaler (referred to herein as a 'smart inhaler') with an integrated mist reservoir is disclosed. The smart inhaler is an internet of things (IoT) inhaler that delivers medicaments and measures pulmonary conditions-including partial pressure, nitric oxide, oxygen, peak flow, and forced expiratory volume. The data is collected and transmitted to mobile applications and web portals that allow patients and healthcare providers to track and view respiratory system status in real time. Other aspects include software and cloud networks with algorithms that can predict any trends or problems and alert stakeholders before they are likely to appear. The smart inhaler also utilizes blockchain technology to allow stakeholders to learn treatment and health status in real time. The present invention aims to assist a patient in maintaining his regimen and to rapidly provide a healthcare worker with the respiratory state of the patient.

Description

ARI intelligent respiratory system inhaler with integrated mist storage tank Cross Reference to Related Applications The present utility model includes the subject matter disclosed in the provisional application filed on 5/6/2022 entitled "ARI Smart Respiratory INHALER WITH INTEGRATED SPACER" and assigned application number 633,490,97, and claims priority from that provisional application, which describes the utility model completed by the present inventors. In addition, it should be noted that the present inventors have filed a similar utility model and design patent in taiwan province at 2022, month 6. These applications claim priority from TW1781673B and TWD218780S and they are filed in Taiwan province of China and are in accordance with 35 USC119 Or 365. Technical Field The present invention relates generally to IoT. More particularly, it relates to a smart inhaler device. Background Internet of things (IoT) devices began to appear at the beginning of the 80 s of the 20 th century when students at the university of karny were retrofitted to soda vending machines. This machine is considered the first internet-connected device that can report its inventory and inform customers when the newly filled beverage is an iced beverage. The term IoT is likely created by the Procter & Gamble company (Procter & Gamble) which uses radio frequency identification tags as part of the IoT system. Others simply define IoT as the point in time when more 'things or objects' than people are (or will be) connected to the internet. Today, ioT is drastically changing the way in which businesses operate and the way in which society generally operates. As the overall communication speed of IoT began to become faster as 5G networks became popular in cities, data generated by connected devices was helping businesses to operate more efficiently, gain insight into business processes, and allow companies to make real-time decisions. While IoT is becoming more popular in many industries, only a small number of IoT devices are used for inhalation devices. U.S. patent No. US20020032387A1 discloses a combination spirometer and oximeter with IoT that communicates wirelessly with other devices-but does not incorporate an inhaler. US patent No. US5522380a discloses a metered dose medicament adapter with an on-board spirometer-but it does not have IoT communication. US patent No. US8333190B2 discloses an IoT atomizer with a flow meter-but it does not incorporate a spirometer. U.S. patent No. US20170000382A1 discloses an IoT inhaler that tracks usage-but it does not utilize blockchain technology. There is a need for an IoT-based smart inhaler that can deliver inhaled medicaments, track usage, communicate with stakeholders, and safely predict trends and treatment problems. For example, respiratory agent tracking may be particularly useful for elderly people-those who fail to take medications on a regular basis may experience a variety of problems. First, they may not be able to obtain the full efficacy of the agents they have prescribed. This may lead to deterioration of existing health conditions or even to new health problems. Second, failure to take the medication on a regular basis can lead to complications such as hospitalization, prolonged course of disease, and increased healthcare costs. Effectively managing the condition and keeping them healthy when elderly people leak out of doses can be challenging for healthcare professionals. Third, failure to follow a medication regimen may often be predictive of other health problems, such as hypomnesis or depression, which may require additional treatment or support. Therefore, taking medicines regularly and following prescribed protocols is of paramount importance to the elderly. Smart inhalers can play a key role in helping elderly people to effectively manage their medication, thereby helping to improve their health results and overall quality of life. Disclosure of Invention The apparatus disclosed and described herein provide a solution to the deficiencies of the prior art by disclosing an IoT-based smart inhaler. The purpose of the device is to deliver respiratory drugs to the lungs of a patient. The device comprises an inhaler having an adapter for receiving a disposable, conventional, pressurized vapor canister, powder cartridge, and is used in a typical manner (the patient places it into the mouth and presses a button to release the vapor medicament into the lungs). In the present disclosure, a conventional inhaler is defined as a medical device that delivers a medicament directly to the lungs in the form of a mist or spray. Inhalers are often used to treat respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchitis. They are typically composed of a small canister and a mouthpiece and work by delivering a measured dose of medicament when the user inhales through the mouthpiece. Inhalers are designed to be portable and easy to use, and are commonly used to
