Description

Dispositif d'inhalation pour l'administration de composés notamment médicamenteux et, procédé et système d'acquisition et d'alerte de données relatives à un niveau de risque d'affection DOMAINE TECHNIQUE  Inhalation device for the administration of particularly medicinal compounds and method and system for acquiring and alerting data relating to a level of risk of disease TECHNICAL FIELD

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'inhalation pour l'administration de composés notamment médicamenteux, sous forme de poudre ou de liquide ainsi qu'un système d'acquisition et d'alerte de données relatives à un niveau de risque d'affection respiratoire et un procédé associé audit système d'acquisition et d'alerte.  The present invention relates to an inhalation device for the administration of particularly medicinal compounds, in the form of a powder or a liquid, as well as a system for acquiring and alerting data relating to a level of risk of respiratory disease and a method associated with said acquisition and alert system.

La présente invention sera utilisée principalement par des individus souffrants de maladies respiratoires de type asthme ou d'allergie, et notamment ceux utilisant des traitements inhalés, afin de les informer sur un niveau de risque d'affection respiratoire dans une zone géographique déterminée. Cela étant, l'invention pourra de manière plus large être utilisée par toute personne sensible à la pollution de l'air et notamment susceptible d'avoir des insuffisances respiratoires. ART ANTERIEUR The present invention will be used mainly by individuals suffering from respiratory diseases of the asthma or allergy type, and in particular those using inhaled treatments, in order to inform them of a level of risk of respiratory disease in a given geographical area. That being the case, the invention may more broadly be used by anyone sensitive to air pollution and in particular likely to have respiratory insufficiencies. PRIOR ART

La pollution de l'air a des conséquences graves sur la santé et particulièrement sur la santé de ceux qui sont affectés par des maladies respiratoires telles que l'asthme. Lors d'événements particuliers tels que les pics de pollution avec de fortes concentration en ozone, monoxyde de carbone, ou encore particules fines, on constate une hausse significative des admissions dans les hôpitaux pour le traitement de crises d'exacerbation, c'est-à-dire des crises respiratoires nécessitant une prise en charge dans un hôpital ou une clinique.  Air pollution has serious consequences for the health and particularly the health of those who are affected by respiratory diseases such as asthma. During special events such as pollution peaks with high concentrations of ozone, carbon monoxide or fine particles, there is a significant increase in admissions to hospitals for the treatment of exacerbation crises. ie respiratory seizures requiring management in a hospital or clinic.

La pollution de l'air à l'instar des pollens a également des conséquences graves sur la santé des allergiques. Cependant, l'existence de pics de pollution est généralement insuffisamment signalée ou encore la population n'est informée que lors d'épisodes particulièrement forts et par une information non ciblée, c'est-à-dire par une information générale ne correspondant pas aux risques particuliers liés à la pathologie ou à la sensibilité de chaque individu. Air pollution like pollen also has serious consequences on the health of allergic people. However, the existence of peaks of pollution is generally insufficiently reported or the population is informed only during particularly strong episodes and by non-targeted information, that is to say by general information not corresponding to particular risks related to the pathology or sensitivity of each individual.

Par ailleurs, la localisation de ces pics de pollution n'est pas précise, or dans une ville, la concentration en polluants est très variable en fonction notamment de la nature du lieu, de l'horaire ou encore des conditions météorologique et notamment du vent ou de la présence de thermoclines de sorte qu'il est difficile pour les gens souffrants de maladies respiratoires de se protéger à moins de limiter drastiquement ses déplacements quotidiens.  Moreover, the location of these peaks of pollution is not precise, but in a city, the concentration of pollutants is very variable depending in particular on the nature of the place, the schedule or weather conditions including wind or the presence of thermoclines, making it difficult for people with respiratory diseases to protect themselves unless they drastically limit their daily movements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

En se reportant principalement à la figure 1 on voit représenté, sous forme schématique un dispositif d'inhalation 1. Referring mainly to Figure 1 is shown in schematic form an inhalation device 1.

Ce dispositif d'inhalation 1 comprend un corps principal 2 apte à recevoir un réservoir 3 contenant lesdits composés à inhaler.  This inhalation device 1 comprises a main body 2 adapted to receive a reservoir 3 containing said compounds to be inhaled.

Ce corps principal 2 est constitué dans l'exemple de la figure 1 d'un inhalateur de type aérosol doseur. Toutefois d'autres types d'inhalateur pourront être utilisés pour réaliser l'invention ainsi le terme «inhalateur » définit, au sens de la présente invention couvre un inhalateur classique ou aérosol doseur en poudre ou en spray ainsi que tout autre dispositif d'inhalation également connu et notamment ceux distribués sous les marques commerciales suivantes : autohaler® , beclojet®, diskus®, tubuhaler ®, aerohaler ® ou encore easyhaler®, novolizer® ou clickhaler®.  This main body 2 is constituted in the example of Figure 1 of a metered aerosol type inhaler. However, other types of inhaler may be used to achieve the invention and the term "inhaler" defines, within the meaning of the present invention covers a conventional inhaler or aerosol dispenser powder or spray and any other inhalation device also known and in particular those distributed under the following trademarks: autohaler®, beclojet®, diskus®, tubuhaler®, aerohaler® or easyhaler®, novolizer® or clickhaler®.

Le dispositif d'inhalation 1 comprend également un module 4, assujetti au corps principal 2. Dans le mode de réalisation, ce module 4 est détachable du corps principal 2 comme représenté à la figure 2. Cette disposition est avantageuse dans le sens où elle permet d'adapter rapidement un inhalateur pour le convertir en un dispositif d'inhalation 1 en lui associant un module 4. Toutefois dans des variantes de réalisation le module 4 pourra être intégré d'origine à l'inhalateur dans un seul boîtier.  The inhalation device 1 also comprises a module 4, secured to the main body 2. In the embodiment, this module 4 is detachable from the main body 2 as shown in Figure 2. This arrangement is advantageous in the sense that it allows to quickly adapt an inhaler to convert it into an inhalation device 1 by associating a module 4. However in alternative embodiments the module 4 can be integrated originally to the inhaler in a single housing.

En se reportant à la figure 3, on voit un exemple de réalisation sous forme schématique de ce module 4 avec ses principaux constituants.  Referring to Figure 3, we see an example of embodiment in schematic form of this module 4 with its main components.

Ce module 4 comprend des moyens de positionnement 5 permettant de repérer la position dans l'espace du dispositif d'inhalation et constitué de préférence d'un module de type GPS avec antenne intégrée.  This module 4 comprises positioning means 5 for locating the position in the space of the inhalation device and preferably consists of a GPS type module with integrated antenna.

Le module 4 comporte en outre des moyens d'alimentation électrique 6 permettant de le rendre autonome et notamment une batterie.  The module 4 further comprises power supply means 6 to make it autonomous and including a battery.

Le module 4 comporte en outre, des moyens de détection 7 pour enregistrer chaque déclenchement de l'inhalateur.  The module 4 further comprises detection means 7 for recording each trigger of the inhaler.

Le module 4 comporte en outre des moyens de calcul et de transmission 8 aptes à transmettre et/ou recevoir des données relatives au positionnement et au déclenchement de l'inhalateur vers un dispositif électronique externe. Les moyens de calcul et de transmission 8 comprennent également une mémoire 9 de type eeprom et un module de communication 10 sans fil avantageusement de type « bluetooth ». Cette mémoire 9 permet le stockage des données « inhalateur » permettant la conservation des données avant transmission vers le dispositif électronique externe. The module 4 further comprises calculation and transmission means 8 able to transmit and / or receive data relating to the positioning and tripping of the inhaler to an external electronic device. The computing and transmission means 8 also include a memory 9 of the eeprom type and a wireless communication module 10 advantageously of "bluetooth" type. This memory 9 allows the storage of "inhaler" data allowing the preservation of data before transmission to the external electronic device.

De manière avantageuse, le module 4 est un boîtier présentant un profil en U. Ce boîtier vient épouser le profil du corps principal 2 et se fixer sur lui sans gêner la préhension de l'ensemble par un utilisateur. A cet effet, on prévoit des moyens de fixation 1 1 avec ce dernier. En se reportant à nouveau à la figure 2 on voit représenté des moyens de fixation 1 1 sous la forme d'un clip 12, toutefois d'autres moyens de fixation sont également envisageables et notamment une fixation à l'aide de sangle.  Advantageously, the module 4 is a casing having a U-shaped profile. This casing matches the profile of the main body 2 and is fixed on it without hindering the gripping of the assembly by a user. For this purpose, there is provided fixing means 1 1 with the latter. Referring again to Figure 2 there is shown fastening means 1 1 in the form of a clip 12, however other fastening means are also conceivable and in particular a fastening using strap.

Le module 4 comporte en outre de manière avantageuse des hauts parleurs 13.  The module 4 advantageously further comprises loudspeakers 13.

Ainsi constitué le module 4 peut être aisément positionné sur le corps principal permettant de constituer un dispositif d'inhalation connecté.  Thus constituted module 4 can be easily positioned on the main body to constitute a connected inhalation device.

A partir de ce dispositif d'inhalation 1 , il est ainsi possible de suivre les déplacements de l'utilisateur et de relever pour chaque utilisation de l'inhalateur à la fois l'horaire et la localisation du déclenchement.  From this inhalation device 1, it is thus possible to track the movements of the user and to record for each use of the inhaler both the time and location of the trigger.

La mémoire 9 permet de conserver les données recueillies et de les transmettre par le module de communication 10 en direct si le dispositif est connecté à un dispositif électronique ou en différé, ces données comportant de préférence une identification de l'inhalateur, le nombre de déclenchement de l'inhalateur ainsi que pour chaque déclenchement la position et l'horaire enregistrés. Les moyens de calcul et de transmission 8 permettent également de transmettre des données relatives à l'identification de l'inhalateur  The memory 9 makes it possible to store the collected data and to transmit them via the communication module 10 live if the device is connected to an electronic device or delayed, these data preferably including an identification of the inhaler, the triggering number of the inhaler and for each trigger the position and the time recorded. The calculation and transmission means 8 also make it possible to transmit data relating to the identification of the inhaler

Le dispositif d'inhalation 1 constitue un outil performant pour l'utilisateur qui peut facilement accéder à son historique d'utilisation en transférant ces données sur un dispositif électronique permettant de mieux suivre sa pathologie.  The inhalation device 1 is a powerful tool for the user who can easily access his history of use by transferring these data to an electronic device to better track his pathology.

Toutefois c'est dans une utilisation combinée d'un nombre élevé de dispositifs d'inhalation que ce dispositif d'inhalation 1 est le plus remarquable.  However, it is in a combined use of a large number of inhalation devices that this inhalation device 1 is the most remarkable.

En se reportant à la figure 4, on voit représenté de manière simplifiée, c'est-à-dire avec un petit nombre de dispositif d'inhalation 1 , un système d'acquisition et d'alerte de données relatives à un niveau de risque d'affection respiratoire 14. Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown in a simplified manner, that is to say with a small number of inhalation devices 1, a system acquisition and warning of data relating to a level of risk of respiratory disease 14.

Le système d'acquisition et d'alerte 14 tel que représenté à la figure 4 de données relatives à un niveau de risque d'affection respiratoire notamment dans la prévention du risque lié à des maladies pulmonaires comportant une pluralité de dispositifs d'inhalation 1 , associés chacun à un dispositif électronique 15, ledit dispositif électronique 15 étant connecté à un serveur 16 comportant une base de données 17 et des moyens de traitement des données 18 en provenance des dispositifs d'inhalation 1.  The acquisition and warning system 14 as represented in FIG. 4 with data relating to a level of risk of respiratory disease, particularly in the prevention of the risk related to pulmonary diseases comprising a plurality of inhalation devices 1, each associated with an electronic device 15, said electronic device 15 being connected to a server 16 having a database 17 and data processing means 18 from the inhalation devices 1.

Les moyens de traitement 18 permettent d'établir au moins une zone de risque en fonction des données des dispositifs d'inhalation 1 et de données relatives à la pollution de l'air contenues dans la base de données 17.  The processing means 18 make it possible to establish at least one risk zone according to the data of the inhalation devices 1 and of the data relating to the air pollution contained in the database 17.

La base de données 17 comprend des moyens de stockage et de transmission de données relatives à un utilisateur et de données relatives à un groupe d'utilisateurs  The database 17 comprises means for storing and transmitting data relating to a user and data relating to a group of users.

Les moyens de traitement 18 permettent de recevoir des données relatives à la position, l'heure et l'utilisation des dispositifs d'inhalation pour établir des zones de risque en fonction de l'affection respiratoire.  The processing means 18 make it possible to receive data relating to the position, the time and the use of the inhalation devices in order to establish zones of risk as a function of the respiratory affection.

Dans la pratique le système 14 comprend avantageusement un grand nombre de dispositif d'inhalation 1 permettant de collecter un grand nombre de données en temps réel et d'adapter en continu ses alertes.  In practice the system 14 advantageously comprises a large number of inhalation device 1 for collecting a large amount of data in real time and to continuously adapt its alerts.

A ce sujet il est important de noter que par le mot « alerte », on entend dans la présente demande, autant une alerte active à savoir une transmission automatique vers les dispositifs électroniques connectés aux dispositifs d'inhalation 1 qu'une alerte passive, c'est-à-dire la possibilité par les utilisateurs du système de rechercher en manuel ou en automatique des messages d'alertes ou d'informations en fonction de différents critères tel que leur pathologie ou encore leur localisation.  In this regard, it is important to note that by the word "alert" is meant in the present application, both an active alert, namely an automatic transmission to the electronic devices connected to the inhalation devices 1 and a passive alert. that is to say the possibility by the users of the system to search manually or automatically alert messages or information according to different criteria such as their pathology or their location.

Par ailleurs, par dispositif électronique 15, on entend tout type d'appareil permettant une connexion au dispositif d'inhalation 1 et notamment un téléphone intelligent ou smartphone, une tablette ou encore un ordinateur.  Furthermore, by electronic device 15 is meant any type of device for connection to the inhalation device 1 and in particular a smartphone or smartphone, a tablet or a computer.

D'une manière connue en soi les moyens de traitement des données 18 pourront être partagés entre le serveur 16 et les dispositifs électroniques 15. De préférence, l'utilisateur télécharge à cet effet un programme ou application sur son dispositif électronique 15 lui permettant de créer un compte et d'entrer les données relatives à son profil et les données relatives à son ou ses inhalateurs.In a manner known per se, the data processing means 18 may be shared between the server 16 and the electronic devices 15. Preferably, the user downloads for this purpose a program or application on his electronic device 15 allowing him to create an account and enter the data relating to his profile and the data relating to his or her inhalers.

Le programme ou application sur le dispositif électronique 15 permet de transmettre les données du dispositif d'inhalation vers le serveur et d'afficher via une interface graphique les données en provenance dudit serveur 16. The program or application on the electronic device 15 makes it possible to transmit the data of the inhalation device to the server and to display via a graphical interface the data coming from said server 16.

En se reportant cette fois aux figures 5 et 6 on voit deux exemples d'interface avec pour la figure 5 une interface sur laquelle figure une carte avec différentes zones auxquelles sont affectés des niveaux de risques. On retrouve ainsi des zones comportant des nuances de couleurs permettant d'identifier des zones allant des zones ne présentant pas de risque particulier à des zones à éviter en passant par des zones d'inconfort respiratoire.  Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6, two examples of interfaces are shown with for FIG. 5 an interface on which is a map with different zones to which risk levels are assigned. There are thus areas with shades of colors to identify areas ranging from areas with no particular risk to areas to avoid through areas of respiratory discomfort.

L'interface de la figure 6 représente une interface combinant à la fois des données statistiques propres à l'individu, telles que le nombre de crises survenues, et des données environnementales sur les lieux où sont survenues les crises et par exemple les concentrations en polluants.  The interface of FIG. 6 represents an interface combining both individual statistical data, such as the number of crises that have occurred, and environmental data on the places where the seizures occurred, for example pollutant concentrations. .

En se reportant cette fois à la figure 7 on voit représenté sous forme de diagramme les principales étapes du procédé permettant de mettre en œuvre le système d'acquisition et d'alerte 14.  Referring now to FIG. 7, the main steps of the method for implementing the acquisition and alerting system are shown diagrammatically.

Le procédé consiste à réaliser au préalable une étape d'inscription sur une application installée sur le dispositif électronique 15 et d'appairage entre le dispositif d'inhalation 1 et le dispositif électronique 15. Cette étape permet également avantageusement de renseigner un certain nombre de champs permettant des traitements avancés des données en provenance de l'inhalateur. A titre d'exemple non limitatif l'utilisateur indique la nature de son affection, sa sensibilité, la fréquence habituelle de ses crises, son lieu de résidence et des données biométriques par exemple son poids et son âge.  The method consists in first carrying out a registration step on an application installed on the electronic device 15 and pairing between the inhalation device 1 and the electronic device 15. This step also advantageously makes it possible to fill a number of fields enabling advanced processing of data from the inhaler. By way of non-limiting example, the user indicates the nature of his affection, his sensitivity, the usual frequency of his attacks, his place of residence and biometric data, for example his weight and his age.

Le procédé consiste une fois l'inscription et l'appairage réalisés à détecter l'état de l'inhalateur permettant de créer des données « inhalateur ».  The method consists of once the registration and pairing is done to detect the state of the inhaler for creating "inhaler" data.

A cet effet dans le mode de réalisation préféré des figures annexées le module 4 est constamment en veille et enregistre tout déclenchement lorsqu'il est placé sur le corps principal 2. Selon une variante de réalisation, cette étape est réalisée en activant au préalable le module 4 de sorte que les déclenchements de l'inhalateur soient enregistrés. For this purpose in the preferred embodiment of the appended figures, the module 4 is constantly in standby and records any trigger when it is placed on the main body 2. According to an alternative embodiment, this step is performed by first activating the module 4 so that the trips of the inhaler are recorded.

Le procédé consiste ensuite à réaliser une étape de transmission de données « inhalateur » vers le dispositif électronique connecté 15. Lorsque le dispositif électronique 15 est connecté en permanence le transfert des données peut se faire en simultanée, dans le cas contraire le transfert des données stockées dans la mémoire 9 se fait de manière différée à chaque connexion.  The method then consists in carrying out an "inhaler" data transmission step towards the connected electronic device 15. When the electronic device 15 is permanently connected, the transfer of the data can be carried out simultaneously, otherwise the transfer of the stored data in the memory 9 is delayed in each connection.

Le procédé consiste ensuite à réaliser une étape de transmission des données « inhalateur » vers le serveur 16. Cette étape est réalisée classiquement via les réseaux web ou de télécommunications.  The method then consists in carrying out a step of transmitting the "inhaler" data to the server 16. This step is carried out conventionally via the web or telecommunications networks.

Le procédé consiste ensuite à réaliser une étape de traitement des données en vue d'établir un zonage de risque d'affection respiratoire.  The method then includes performing a data processing step to establish a risk zoning for a respiratory condition.

Cette étape de traitement est réalisée en compilant l'ensemble des données des dispositifs d'inhalation transmettant les données « inhalateurs ».  This treatment step is performed by compiling all the data of the inhalation devices transmitting the "inhaler" data.

Cette étape de traitement comprend notamment de préférence une étape de comparaison avec l'historique des déclenchements de l'inhalateur et/ou avec des données de pollution atmosphérique contenues dans la base de données Une fois réalisée l'étape de traitement des données, le procédé comprend une étape d'enregistrement des données traitées dans une base de données 17. A partir des données traitées et stockées dans la base de données 17, le procédé d'acquisition et d'alerte permet la génération d'au moins une alerte individuelle et /ou collective du niveau de risque dans au moins une zone couverte par le zonage. D'autres types d'informations peuvent également être prévus en plus du niveau de risque et notamment le procédé pourra avantageusement comprendre une étape d'affichage de l'historique d'un inhalateur lié à un individu selon un accès restreint.  This treatment step preferably includes a step of comparison with the history of the releases of the inhaler and / or atmospheric pollution data contained in the database. Once the data processing step has been carried out, the process includes a step of recording the processed data in a database 17. From the data processed and stored in the database 17, the acquisition and alerting method allows the generation of at least one individual alert and / or collective level of risk in at least one zone covered by the zoning. Other types of information may also be provided in addition to the level of risk and in particular the method may advantageously include a step of displaying the history of an inhaler linked to an individual according to a restricted access.

Bien entendu, d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention auraient également pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications ci-après. Of course, other features of the invention could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
