Inhaler dose sensor

An inhaler dose sensor is a small, battery-powered device designed to attach to a portable inhaler such as a metered dose, dry powder, or soft mist inhaler. It detects when a medication dose is administered and wirelessly transmits that data to a companion device, like a smartphone, to help track and evaluate dosing intervals, often supporting reminder functions through associated software.

This category includes reusable, non-sterile devices intended for single-patient use over time. These sensors are regulated as medical devices that monitor usage but do not deliver medication themselves, and their regulatory status depends on the jurisdiction and intended use, without implying any specific classification.
