===Smart inhaler===
The smart-inhaler is an inhaler that will automatically update an app with information that includes the time of day, air quality, and how many times it has been used through sensor technology on the device.<ref name = "Himes_2019">{{cite journal | vauthors = Himes BE, Leszinsky L, Walsh R, Hepner H, Wu AC | title = Mobile Health and Inhaler-Based Monitoring Devices for Asthma Management | journal = The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

The Teva ProAir Digihaler was the first FDA approved smart inhaler.<ref name = "Chrystyn_2019">{{Cite journal| vauthors = Chrystyn H, Safioti G, Buck D, Granovsky L, Calderon E, Li T, Reich M, Hill T, Depietro M, Pleasants R | display-authors = 6 |date=2019-09-28|title=Real-life inhaler technique in asthma patients using the electronic ProAir Digihaler |journal=Airway Pharmacology and Treatment|publisher=European Respiratory Society|pages=PA4258|doi=10.1183/13993003.congress-2019.PA4258| s2cid = 214096707 }}</ref> It shows how effective the device is at aiding patients in using the proper dose amount for their asthma. In a study published by the European Respiratory Journal, the ProAir Digihaler accurately identified when patients were using their inhalers and whether they were effectively administering the dose in a 370 patient trial with the device.<ref name = "Chrystyn_2019" /> This study further gives an overview on the technology regarding applications and devices that help aid in the tracking and medication management for asthma and other lung conditions. Another study showed that smart inhalers accurately recorded all doses administered by patients with their technology, which signifies their importance in providing accurate dosage information to patients and their physicians.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Burgess SW, Wilson SS, Cooper DM, Sly PD, Devadason SG | title = In vitro evaluation of an asthma dosing device: the smart-inhaler | journal = Respiratory Medicine | volume = 100 | issue = 5 | pages = 841–5 | date = May 2006 | pmid = 16216485 | doi = 10.1016/j.rmed.2005.09.004 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
