In a study appearing in Pediatrics, researchers saw surges in the number of US children taking prescription medications for diabetes and asthma - the number of asthma prescriptions was up nearly 47%. Unfortunately adherence with preventive medication, even within the context of a research study, was generally low and highly variable. Subjective measures of adherence were found to overestimate adherence in young asthmatics.
An innovative New Zealand-based company has developed a smart solution: an inhaler with ring tones. The inhaler monitors a child's compliance with a usage schedule determined by their doctor. When it's time to use the inhaler it provides a ring tone reminder. It records the child's compliance with the recommended schedule and can also detect inappropriate usage such as dosage dumping.
