Medical device notification system
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a lighting device comprising a processor and a receiver; and
an inhaler comprising a processor, a pressure sensor, and a communication circuit, the communication circuit configured to wirelessly transmit data to the lighting device;
wherein the processor of the inhaler is configured to;
receive patient inhalation data from the pressure sensor;
compare the patient inhalation data to target inhalation data, wherein the target inhalation data is representative of a target use of the inhaler by a user; and
send, to the lighting device, data configured to control a characteristic of light emitted by the lighting device based on the comparison of the patient inhalation data to the target inhalation data.

Abstract
A system and method for communicating data from a medical device to a lighting device is provided. The system may include the medical device, the lighting device, and/or one or more interface devices. The medical device may be configured to transmit data to the lighting device, which for example, may include information relating to the medical device, dosage information, diagnostic data, medical device training feedback, health monitoring information, and/or air quality information. The lighting device may be configured to receive data from the medical device and control one or more lighting characteristics based on the received data. A characteristic of the light may include one or more of color, color temperature, intensity, flashing or steady-state, on or off, and/or the like. The system may provide for a home based adherence and/or compliance monitoring system, in which a patient'"'"'s interaction with a medical device may be monitored and an alert/indication provided.
