Abstract

A wearable inhalation delivery device comprising a wearable member that is securable to a wearer's head; and an inhalation delivery device carried by the wearable member and configured to deliver fluid to the wearer's air passages upon inhalation.

Claims (30)

1. A wearable inhalation delivery device, comprising:

a wearable member that is securable to a wearer's head;

an inhalation delivery device carried by the wearable member and configured to deliver a fluid to the wearer's air passages upon inhalation,

wherein the inhalation delivery device includes opposite laterally extending leg members comprising a first leg member having a supply, the first leg member includes a side with a flexible opening that the supply is removably insertable within.

2. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the first leg member has a cylindrical disk-shaped receiving section and the supply includes a cylindrical disk-shaped head that is received within the cylindrical disk-shaped receiving section of the first leg member to retain the supply in the first leg member.

3. A wearable inhalation delivery device, comprising:

a wearable member that is securable to a wearer's head;

an inhalation delivery device carried by the wearable member and configured to deliver a fluid to the wearer's air passages upon inhalation,

wherein the inhalation delivery device includes opposite laterally extending leg members comprising a first leg member having a supply and a second leg member having an electronics pack.

4. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 3 , wherein the second leg member includes an open end that the electronics pack is removably insertable within.

5. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 4 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes an air pressure sensor, a power source, and a microprocessor configured to deliver to the wearer's air passages upon detection of inhalation by the air pressure sensor.

6. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a vape tank with a vape heating coil, the microprocessor configured to determine coil temperature based in part on measured resistance of the vape heating coil and control the power source to adjust supply of power to the heating coil to control an amount of vape delivered.

7. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a tank and a vaporizing nozzle, and the microprocessor is configured to control the vaporizing nozzle to control an amount of fluid released from the tank.

8. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes an oxygen tank and a mechanism to release oxygen from the oxygen tank, and the microprocessor is configured to control the mechanism to control an amount of oxygen released from the oxygen tank.

9. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a fluid tank and an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer, and the microprocessor is configured to control the ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer to control an amount of fine mist released from the fluid tank.

10. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the air pressure sensor is configured to measure inhalation pressure and if the microprocessor determines if the inhalation pressure has at least met a minimum predetermined inhalation pressure to deliver fluid.

11. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes electronics and a module coupled with the microprocessor to allow functionality control of the inhalation delivery device via a mobile app on a mobile computing device.

12. A wearable inhalation delivery device, comprising:

a wearable member that is securable to a wearer's head;

an inhalation delivery device carried by the wearable member and configured to deliver a fluid to the wearer's air passages upon inhalation,

wherein the inhalation delivery device is configured to span the wearer's face and includes an electronics pack, an air pressure sensor, a power source, and a microprocessor, the inhalation delivery device configured to deliver the fluid to the wearer's air passages upon detection of inhalation by the air pressure sensor, and the air pressure sensor is configured to measure inhalation pressure and if the microprocessor determines the inhalation pressure has at least met a minimum predetermined inhalation pressure to deliver fluid.

13. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 12 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a vape tank with a vape heating coil, the microprocessor configured to determine coil temperature based in part on measured resistance of the vape heating coil and control the power source to adjust supply of power to the heating coil to control an amount of vape delivered.

14. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 12 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a tank and a vaporizing nozzle, and the microprocessor is configured to control the vaporizing nozzle to control an amount of fluid released from the tank.

15. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 12 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes an oxygen tank and a mechanism to release oxygen from the oxygen tank, and the microprocessor is configured to control the mechanism to control an amount of oxygen released from the oxygen tank.

16. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 12 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes a fluid tank and an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer, and the microprocessor is configured to control the ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer to control an amount of fine mist released from the fluid tank.

17. The wearable inhalation delivery device of claim 12 , wherein the inhalation delivery device includes electronics and a module coupled with the microprocessor to allow functionality control of the inhalation delivery device via a mobile app on a mobile computing device.

18. A wearable inhalation delivery device, comprising:

a wearable member that is securable to a wearer's head;

an inhalation delivery device carried by the wearable member and configured to deliver a fluid to the wearer's air passages upon inhalation,

wherein the inhalation delivery device includes an electronics pack, an air pressure sensor, a power source, a microprocessor, the inhalation delivery device configured to deliver the fluid to the wearer's air passages upon detection of inhalation by the air pressure sensor, and a vape tank with a vape heating coil, the microprocessor configured to determine coil temperature based in part on measured resistance of the vape heating coil and control the power source to adjust supply of power to the heating coil to control an amount of vape delivered.
