Hi there - looking for device, which can help kids between age 5-10 take their asthma medicine regularly/ in the right doses. Does anyone know of new electronic devices?
Medical devices aren't exactly up to speed with newest electronic development, and kids today want smart solutions matching their mobiles, Gameboys etc....would be great with a new and smarter solution for medical compliance.
Does anyone know of already existing solutions (hardware as well as software), or have ideas for new solutions, or simply ideas of where I can look?
Thanks so much
There is an interesting article here about a device that attaches to a corticosteroid inhaler and beeps when it's time to take the medicine. There is also a comment that alludes to the fact that they are trying to develop a reminder function for non inhaler medication. Interesting reading! Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
