Enhance compliance for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is possible with our digital dose counting metered dose inhaler. The counter is integrated into the pressurized metered dose inhaler and provides feedback to patients and allows them to quickly determine the number of remaining doses in their inhalation device.

The digital dose counting inhaler is designed to improve patient adherence and compliance with prescribed medication regimens. By providing feedback and reminders to take medications, it helps reduce the likelihood of missed doses, reducing the risk of exacerbations, hospitalizations and loss of lung function.

Simplified and reliable tracking of doses

Digital dose counter-pressurized metered dose inhalers offer simplified and accurate tracking of dosages from an inhaler device.

The digital dose counter technology, which replaces traditional mechanical dose counters, provides an accurate and reliable way for patients to track their medications in real-time. This helps to improve patient adherence and convenience, allowing them to view the remaining doses on their device and know when they need to refill their medication. The digital dose counter also eliminates the need for manual device tracking, reducing the risk of patient error or confusion. Additionally, the digital dose counter can provide valuable insights into patient usage patterns that can help healthcare professionals and medical device manufacturers to better understand and improve patient outcomes.

 

Patient friendly inhaler device

The digital dose counting feature in the inhaler delivers reliable, consistent and precise respiratory drug delivery. The integrated digital counter avoids dosing errors, as it is based on the direct detection of the spray from the aerosol-metering valve within the inhaler, fully integrated within the actuator.  The results are clearly displayed on the large digital display, providing the patient with confidence in the dose remaining.

Improved control for Asthma and COPD

Asthma and COPD can be chronic and debilitating respiratory diseases without reliable and effective treatment. Patients with these respiratory conditions want to be in control of their health and their medications as part of their self-management of their disease. The inclusion of a reliable and accurate digital dose counter to their inhalation device can provide patients with greater control and sense of security. With automatic dosing schedule reminders, and a count of remaining doses in the inhaler device, the patient can much more easily manage their own compliance to treatment and overall health.
