Chinese experts consensus for aerosol therapy assisted by Internet of Things

Abstract Aerosol inhalation treatment imposes direct effects on target organs with less systematic side effects and no need of deliberate cooperation of patients. However, the lack of resources and experience impairs the drug efficacy and even causes side effects. The editorial board of International Journal of Respiration reviewed the literature, discussed and summarized their experience, and finalized the Chinese experts consensus on the treatment of aerosol inhalation assisted by Internet of Things. This practice guideline was designed to guide medical staffs at all levels to carry out standardized aerosol inhalation treatment more properly.
