The subject matter describes an adherence monitoring and tracking device (100, 400) for capturing use of a metered dose inhaler (MDI). The device (100, 400) includes a housing for enclosing a metered dose inhaler (MDI), and an electromechanical system forming part of the housing to sense and record the operation of the MDI. The electromechanical system includes at least one transducer to capture one or more parameters related to user manipulation of the MDI. A microcontroller processes the captured parameters and an output unit renders data related to the operation of the MDI. |
