Supporting asthma and COPD patients during inhalation
How our sensors make a difference
Immediate feedback on inhalation technique
The highly sensitive and small flow sensor provides feedback to improve patient inhalation technique. This allows patients to reduce the errors they make and lets physicians monitor the correctness of the patient’s technique.
Improved drug dosing and intake
Sensor technology allows for a better understanding of the amount of medication taken by the patient and thus reduces the side effects of overdosing or underdosing. It also optimizes drug dosing and improves the medication’s effectiveness.
Monitoring of adherence and disease progression and assisting in evidence-based decision-making
Healthcare providers and insurance companies can closely monitor the patient’s adherence to therapy and disease progression without additional effort from the patient. The practitioners can make the right therapeutic decisions to improve the control of the patient’s condition.
Safe, reliable and user-friendly solution
The inhaler clip-on does not interfere with the flow path of the inhaler, which leaves drug delivery intact and safe for the patient. The SDP sensor has low zero-flow drift and requires no in-field calibration. The solution is transparent to the patient and allows for a perfect user experience.
SDP3x differential pressure sensor
The SDP3x is the world’s smallest differential pressure sensor. It has undefeatable accuracy at very low pressure drops and low flows. It is reliable with no zero-flow drift. It is ideal for measurement in bypass configuration or with the Bernoulli-Venturi effect.

Flow measurement in smart inhalers for connected drug delivery
Inhalers are among the most commonly used devices for treating respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). With each inhalation through the inhaler, the device delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs. However, when it comes to proper inhaler use, misuse is the norm.
