摘要：
A compliance monitor (20) is attachable to or forms part of a drug deliverydevice, such as an inhaler (2). The monitor comprises a flexible portion (38)to enable a switch which is actuated by a user when delivering a dose ofmedicament. The monitor further comprises a sensor for sensing whether thedevice is properly positioned in contact with or relative to the user's bodyfor administration of the medicament. For example, where the device is aninhaler and the sensor a temperature sensor, temperature variations caused byinsertion of an inhaler mouthpiece into the user's mouth indicate whether thedose has been delivered into the patent's mouth. A memory in the compliancemonitor stores a compliance record indicating whether or not the device wasproperly positioned each time a dose was delivered.
