Publication number: 20240139441Abstract: A system may include a mobile application residing on an external device and an inhalation device. The inhalation device may include a mouthpiece, a mouthpiece cover, medicament, and an electronics module comprising a processor. The inhalation device may be configured to both prepare a dose of medicament for delivery to a user and cause the processor to transition between power states when the mouthpiece cover is moved from a closed position to an open position to expose the mouthpiece. The electronics module or the mobile application may be configured to generate usage events based on usage of the inhalation device by the user. The electronics module may also include a pressure sensor, and the electronics module or the mobile application may be configured to determine whether a usage event is a good inhalation event, a fair inhalation event, or a no inhalation event based on feedback from the pressure sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Enrique Calderon Oliveras, Carl L. Lewis, Symon D'Oyly Cotton, Steven D. Gardner, Robert O. Kivlin, Amir Zur

Patent number: 11439777Abstract: A device for delivering medication to a user may include a main body, an electronics module, and a slider. The main body may include a mouthpiece, a medication reservoir, and a mouthpiece cover, where the mouthpiece cover may be hinged to the main body. The electronics module may include a communication circuit, a pressure sensor, and a switch. The slider may be configured to engage the switch when the mouthpiece cover moves from a closed position to an open position. The switch may be configured to switch the electronics module from an off state or a sleep state to an active state. The electronics module may be configured to never return to the off state after the mouthpiece cover is moved to expose the mouthpiece for the first time by the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Enrique Calderon Oliveras, Carl L. Lewis, Symon D'Oyly Cotton, Steven D. Gardner, Robert O. Kivlin
