First AGPS-Enabled Asthma Inhaler for Landmark Research Program

Newsguide.us: “US-based GPS product design firm, SiliconSky GPS, designs and develops a GPS-enabled asthma inhaler that will help a cutting edge epidemiology researcher to better understand asthma triggers. Our client needed the medical device to be compact enough for convenient daily use. To achieve that end, it took efficient circuit design and meticulous 3D modeling to fit the electronics, battery and antennae into a package the size of a Zippo lighter.” The use of technology to gather important data during studies is not only practical, but an important concept that can be extended to issues surrounding medication compliance in general.
