Abstract: A respiratory disease analytics system provides respiratory disease risk reports to a patient, provider, or third-party entity describing a patient's risk of experiencing a medication usage event given data in a geographic region. Regional data, including air pollutant conditions, weather conditions, demographic information, built environment factors, and regional health conditions for a geographic region are accessed from other sources and assigned based on event data recorded during a medicament usage event, as collected by sensors associated with the patient's medicament device/s. The regional data is assigned to medicament usage events occurring within a period of time. The assigned regional data is analyzed to determine an expected number of medication usage events for the geographic region occurring over the period of time.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may terminate application of an electric pulse to a shape memory alloy (SMA) element that causes actuation of a medicament pump based on resistance values unlike conventional approaches that rely on a mechanical mechanisms to trigger termination of the application of the electric pulse. The magnitude of the resistance values, the rate of change (RoC) of the resistance values, the temperature of the SMA element, the time that has passed since initial application of the electric pulse to the SMA element, or combinations thereof may be used to trigger the termination of the application of the electric pulse to the SMA element in exemplary embodiments. The monitoring of the resistance of an unactuated SMA element may be used to determine when to initiate and when to terminate application of an electrical pulse to the other SMA element.
