INHALER TRAINING SYSTEM AND METHOD

The invention relates to a method and system for providing feedback to a patient using an inhaler of a specific type for inhaling a therapeutic aerosol according to instructions for use provided to the patient with the inhaler. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a sequence of digital audio signals and a sequence of digital video signals emitted from the patient while using the inhaler, recognising the type of the inhaler by processing the video signals, recognising whether the patient has deviated from the instructions by processing the audio and video signals, and recognising the type of the deviation; and presenting to the patient one or more feedback messages indicating whether a deviation was recognised, and if so, what type of deviation occurred, and optionally an inhalation manoeuvre without the deviation.
