1. A system configured to remotely monitor therapy of a plurality of subjects, wherein the therapy includes delivery of aerosolized medicament, the system comprising:

  • one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to;

    obtain, over a communications network, therapy information for a plurality of subjects, wherein the plurality of subjects comprise at least a first subject and a second subject, and wherein therapy information for a given subject includes information related to a respiratory capacity of the given subject and information conveying one or more breathing parameters of the given subject during the delivery of the aerosolized medicament;

    automatically set one or more first thresholds for a first breathing parameter for the first subject during delivery of aerosolized medicament to the first subject based on first information related to a first respiratory capacity of the first subject, and automatically set one or more second thresholds for a second breathing parameter for the second subject during delivery of aerosolized medicament to the second subject based on second information related to a second respiratory capacity of the second subject;

    cause a first user interface to be displayed to the first subject, prior to the delivery of aerosolized medicament to the first subject, to present first visual cues in separate fields of a first single view of the first user interface that facilitate a first training inhalation by the first subject such that a first inhalation time of the first training inhalation being within a first target inhalation time range is displayed in a first field of the first single view, and a first inhalation flow rate of the first training inhalation being within a first target inhalation flow rate range is displayed in a second field of the first single view;

    cause a second user interface to be displayed to the second subject, prior to delivery of aerosolized medicament to the second subject, to present second visual cues in separate fields of a second single view of the second user interface that facilitate a second training inhalation by the second subject such that a second inhalation time of the second training inhalation being within a second target inhalation time range is displayed in a third field of the second single view, and a second inhalation flow rate of the second training inhalation being within a second target inhalation flow rate range is displayed in a fourth field of the second single view;

    monitor the therapy received by the first subject by comparing the first breathing parameter during delivery of aerosolized medicament, as conveyed by the therapy information for the first subject, with the one or more first thresholds;

    monitor the therapy received by the second subject by comparing the second breathing parameter during the delivery of the aerosolized medicament, as conveyed by the therapy information for the second subject, with the one or more second thresholds;

    responsive to the first breathing parameter breaching at least one of the one or more first thresholds, (i) cause the first user interface to be redisplayed to the first subject to facilitate at least one first additional training inhalation by the first subject, (ii) set one or more new first thresholds for the first breathing parameter based, at least in part, on a first breathing performance during the at least one first additional training inhalation, and (iii) adjust one or more first therapy regime parameters of the first subject based on the first breathing performance during the at least one first additional training inhalation, the one or more first therapy regime parameters including one or more of a medicament dosage, a medicament composition, a therapy session duration, or a therapy session frequency; and

    responsive to the second breathing parameter breaching at least one of the one or more second thresholds, (i) cause the first user interface to be redisplayed to the second subject to facilitate at least one second additional training inhalation by the second subject, (ii) set one or more new second thresholds for the second breathing parameter based, at least in part, on a second breathing performance during the at least one second additional training inhalation, and (iii) adjust one or more second therapy regime parameters of the second subject based on the second breathing performance during the at least one second additional training inhalation, the one or more second therapy regime parameters including one or more of a medicament dosage, a medicament composition, a therapy session duration, or a therapy session frequency.
