The present invention provides a therapeutic adherence monitoring and tracking device (100, 400) for capturing the use of a metered dose inhaler (MDI). The device (100, 400) includes an enclosure for containing a metered dose inhaler (MDI), and an electromechanical system forming a portion of the enclosure for detecting and recording the operation of the MDI. The electromechanical system comprises at least one transducer for capturing one or more parameters relating to an operation of the MDI by the user. A microcontroller processes said captured parameters, and an output unit outputs the data relating to the operation of the MDI. |
