Abstract

Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the development of wearable and smart health devices based on the Internet of Things (IoT), that enable real time remote control and monitoring of health parameters. In this context, the purpose of this article is to present the development and evaluation process of a smart inhaler mask designed for medical gas cylinders, utilizing IoT technologies. Handheld medical gas cylinders, although essential for a specific group of people, often come with a significant cost, and lack features such as dosage measurement and gas storage monitoring. Consequently, a smart inhaler mask was developed to address these limitations by enabling in-situ and real-time measurement of gas dosage, tracking the remaining gas within the cylinder, and assisting users in monitoring the overall usage of the medical gas cylinder. To facilitate the access and interpretation of this information, a newly developed and user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been implemented in the form of a mobile application. This study outlines the evaluation process employed to verify the reliability and accuracy of the results obtained from the smart inhaler mask.

使用物联网技术的便携式医用气瓶的智能吸入器面罩

在过去十年中，基于物联网（IoT）的可穿戴和智能健康设备的发展显著增加，这些设备可以实时远程控制和监测健康参数。在此背景下，本文的目的是介绍利用物联网技术为医用气瓶设计的智能吸入器面罩的开发和评估过程。手持式医用气瓶虽然对特定人群至关重要，但往往成本高昂，而且缺乏剂量测量和气体储存监测等功能。因此，开发了一种智能吸入器面罩，通过实现现场和实时测量气体剂量，跟踪钢瓶内剩余气体，并协助用户监控医用气瓶的整体使用情况，从而解决了这些限制。为了方便查阅和解释这些信息，我们以流动应用程序的形式，实施了一个新开发的、方便用户使用的图形用户界面。本研究概述了用于验证从智能吸入器口罩获得的结果的可靠性和准确性的评估过程。

期刊介绍： Journal of Engineering Research (JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research "(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS).
