detecting a blood glucose level in the user.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article comprises:
detecting a blood oxygen level in the user.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article comprises:
detecting an infection in the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article comprises:
detecting vascular dysfunction in the user.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article comprises:
detecting blood flow in the user.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article comprises:
detecting at least one of a respiratory minute volume in the user, a sneeze, a cough, a wheeze, a rhonchus, a snore, a temperature, or an expelled gas.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recording the detected medical condition parameter data.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transferring the detected medical condition parameter data.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
transferring the detected medical condition parameter data to a flash drive.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
transferring the detected medical condition parameter data to a hard drive.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
downloading the detected medical condition parameter data to a RAM.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter data to a processor.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter data to an external site.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein transferring the detected medical condition parameter data comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module via a wireless transmission.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module via a wire transmission.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module via a radio transmission.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module further comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module via an optical transmission.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module further comprises:
transmitting the detected medical condition parameter to a dispensing module via a mechanical transmission.
21. A method for administering an inhalable compound, comprising:
detecting a medical condition parameter of a user with a sensor on a hands-free article for dispensing an inhalable compound according to a medical condition parameter request received from a source external to the hands-free article;
maintaining in physical association with a user the hands-free article, the hands free article configured for disposal around at least one of a neck portion, a torso portion, or a wrist portion of the user, the hands free article including a support member configured for maintaining the inhalable compound in an operable dispensing position, the operable dispensing position oriented to exclude physical contact between an outlet of the hands-free article and a face of the user; and
dispensing for inhalation by the user a dose of the inhalable compound according to a dosing instruction set.
