        abstract = {Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting millions worldwide, requiring consistent monitoring and timely medication for effective management. This project presents a Digital Inhaler System designed to improve the treatment outcomes and medication adherence among asthma patients. The proposed system integrates biomedical engineering principles with embedded hardware components, including sensors, a microcontroller, and a Bluetooth module, to track inhaler usage in real time. It records dosage frequency, monitors inhalation technique, and transmits data to a connected mobile application for both patient and physician review. 
Additionally, the system includes reminders, alert notifications, and data analytics to ensure regular medication intake and support personalized care. By enabling better communication between patients and healthcare providers, this digital solution addresses common issues such as underuse, overuse, and improper inhaler handling. The prototype aims to enhance the overall quality of life for asthma patients by fostering medication compliance and enabling proactive disease management. This innovative approach demonstrates the potential of biomedical engineering in bridging healthcare and technology to combat chronic diseases effectively.},
