Abstract
A reminder device 2 and a system using that device can be employed both to alert a user to scheduled times for administration of standard medical procedures and to compile data representative of the actual administration of the medical procedure. The reminder device 2 includes an LCD 8 for notifying a user of important messages. The reminder device can be connected to a communications network so that data can be downloaded to the reminder device and uploaded to a medical professional for analysis. The reminder device can also be attached to a medical apparatus, such as a nebulizer, and the intervals during which that medical apparatus are in actual use can be communicated to and stored in the reminder device memory for subsequent uploading to a medical professional.
