Description
Description
Title of Invention : Nanoln Inhaler
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to respiratory issues (such as asthma, or COPD), medication adherence, and patient-doctor relationships, to be more specific, this invention pertains to smart inhalers using nanotechnology - nanoaerosol, and cloud-based system.
Background Art
[0002] An invention titled BIOMETRIC CONTROLLED SMART INHALERS has been published in the PCT with the application number PCT / US2020 / 037242, which enclose the invention in that field.
[0003] the invention provides a device comprising: a biometric reader, capable of detecting an abnormal condition; and an inhaler unit capable of delivering a drug to an airway of a subject, wherein said biometric reader is operably linked to said inhaler unit, and wherein said inhaler unit delivers said drug to said airway in said subject in response to said biometric reader’s detection of the abnormal condition in said subject. In some embodiments, the device comprises a first handgrip and a second handgrip, wherein each the first and second grips comprises an electrode of said biometric reader. In one embodiment, the device comprises an interlocking mechanism, said mechanism is capable of blocking or stopping the activation of the delivery of the drug by said inhaler unit until the detection of said abnormal condition by said biometric reader.
[0004] In one exemplary embodiment, the biometric reader is an electrocardiogram (ECG) unit and the abnormal condition is a heart disease or condition, such as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). In one embodiment, the drug is any suitable drug for treating SVT, for example, verapamil.
[0005] In another exemplary embodiment, the biometric reader is an electroencephalogram (EEG) unit and the abnormal condition is a condition associated with epilepsy. In one embodiment, the drug is any suitable drug for treating epilepsy, for example, carbamazepine, phenytoin, or valproic acid.
[0006] The application method of the claimed invention is different from this invention.
Technical Problem
[0007] Almost 3 million Canadians are living with asthma, that equates to roughly 9.5% of the total population of Canada. Nearly three quarters of people with asthma have reported that they experience some form of health-related anxiety. This is largely due to the lack of support and uncertainty about their treatment plans. Canadians have a two in five chance of being diagnosed with asthma before the age of 40. Subsequently, 60% of individuals with asthma have poorly controlled disease, which can often restrict their daily activities and leave them with a poor quality of life.
[0008] This statistic can be seen in different countries with some changes. There are many other people who use inhalers or sprays on a daily basis, meaning that it is not uncommon that patients need to take them several times a day - or in emergency situations where breathing becomes strained or challenging. Any time an individual's breathing is compromised, it is very scary and can cause lots of stress and anxiety. In these moments, having an inhaler that one can have confidence in and rely on is essential. Even so, using an inhaler daily may sound daunting, and in reality, it really is.
[0009] Furthermore, medication adherence, including inhaler usage, poses a difficult challenge for patients; especially those in at-risk age groups. Parents of children who require inhalers may worry that their child is not sticking to their prescribed schedule and will not get the benefits of their medication or that they may have an adverse reaction without it. Similarly, the senior population is an at-risk group when it comes to medication adherence as well. Seniors are notorious for medication non-adherence; missing a dose, or even taking the incorrect dosage - all of which can be extremely dangerous and the prevalence of COPD has become a real concern. Our population is aging very quickly, and the prevalence of COPD is becoming a very real concern. Seniors must juggle so many prescriptions that they may forget their inhaler amidst all of their other daily pills.
[0010] Patients often feel as though once they are prescribed their medication, that the doctor's role in their treatment is over and they are left to handle everything
on their own but this is not case. Improved relationships with physicians and patients have shown to improve treatment outcomes and increase medication adherence. Our aim is to not only provide access to the most state-of-the-art inhalers on the market but also to support patients after they receive their prescription to ensure they are well taken care of long term.
Solution to Problem
[0011] The loT, cloud-based clamed device has sensors that act as a clip on extension to existing inhalers. It has a GPS extension which allows it to track when and where the puffs are taken by the patients. These sensors are linked with an application that the patient must install on their smartphone. This information is relayed to the application by the sensors via bluetooth, or a plug-in hub. These are often used as a part of the disease's management program, under a physician's regulation. It is a digital platform consisting of a custom sensor which records and transmits the treatment acquiescence data.
[0012] The inhaler platform enables physicians to effectively monitor the inhalation technique and frequency, capturing factors such as inhalation flow rate, flow speeding, inhalation volume, stimulus time, and patient's usage of the inhaler.
The data that is generated by the app is an important tool which offers the user simple metrics and tailored advice for a more real supervision of their condition.
[0013] The key feature of the loT based inhaler is that it helps the patients adhere to their medication routine, and also allows the physicians to monitor their patients remotely.
[0014] The inhaler by exact controlling doses, precisely stores data usage in the cloud when each dose is taken, it transfers this status to doctors, and helps keep the illnesses at check. This technology also gives automatically generated reminders, through the app, informing the patient to use the inhaler whenever necessary. Identification of the patient's inhaler usage pattern will aid patients as well as doctors in getting a better understanding of respiratory diseases and how it affects the body. This makes the patient aware of the triggers, like flower pollen or temperature and helps keep them well-informed which helps to avoid asthma attacks and other diseases, preventing hospitalization.
[0015] The GPS sensor of the inhaler is a unique feature which actively records where and when the puff was taken, with this data over a period of time, it comes up with a pattern, without any necessity of personal diaries or other conscious entry of information.
[0016] The time and location data for each use is linked with a wide range of factors from environmental, geographic, traffic, and numerous neighbourhood data.
[0017] Nanoln is a smart nanoaerosol inhaler that utilizes a cloud-based data system. It is a smart inhaler that is equipped with sensors that automatically send usage data to its' user's doctor; who can then provide feedback through our mobile application, which is available on all iOS and Android devices.
[0018] This invention does not have a biometric reader, but measures dosage and use of the inhaler to send data to the app. It does not send recommendations based on biometric feedback like the example sent but simply monitors use which connects to the app.
[0019] The innovation is that it is a smart nanoaerosol inhaler. The main differentiator is that it monitors use and administers nanoaerosol medication. This invention will use pressurized metered-dose method to administer nanoaerosol medications.
