Patent number: 12502492Abstract: A medicament device sensor (Sensor) comprises a body, a front wall, a back wall, an audio sensor, and a plurality of pressure sensors. The body includes a bottom surface on which the various sensors are coupled. The front wall and the back wall provide mirror symmetry in at most one plane, thereby defining a single orientation in which the Sensor attaches to the medicament device. The front wall includes a securement clip that attaches to a ledge on the medicament device. To detect secure attachment of the Sensor to the medicament device, one pressure sensor detects pressure when the Sensor is secured to the medicament device. Another one or more pressure sensors detect depression of one or more dosing buttons confirming priming of the medicament device. The audio sensor detects an inhalation confirming dispensing of medicament. In effect, the Sensor determines a dispensing event has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: December 23, 2025Assignee: Resmed Inc.Inventors: Samuel A. Koblenski, Gregory F. Tracy, David Hubanks, Amber Michelle Markey, Benjamin J. Kopp, Justin Conrad Krosschell, Leah J. Morrell

Publication number: 20220415502Abstract: This present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method for updating a plurality of parameters on a medical inhaler sensor via a wireless connection by a client device. The client device stores the plurality of parameters for the medical inhaler sensor on the client device. The client device updates one or more parameters of the plurality of parameters on the client device. The client device receives a plurality of periodic chirps from the medical inhaler sensor, and can establish the wireless connection with the medical inhaler sensor in response to having received a chirp. Through the wireless connection, the client device transmits the updated one or more parameters of the plurality of parameters to the medical inhaler sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Samuel A. Koblenski, Benjamin J. Kopp, Justin Conrad Krosschell, John David Van Sickle, Gregory F. Tracy
