Vaporization device for calculating inhaled medicant amount and displaying same

Abstract

An inhalation device for inhaling a vaporized substance that includes metering capabilities to inform a user when a particular amount of substance has been consumed. The inhalation device can include a sensor that senses the vaporized substance and a processor that utilizes data from the sensor to meter the amount consumed. The inhalation device can also define a session, which is a time in which a user can consume a particular amount. During the session, a user can start and stop inhaling and resume inhaling. When the user stops inhaling the inhalation device will halt vapor production and will resume production when the user resumes inhaling.

1 . A vaporization device for delivering an inhalable medicant to a user, comprising:
 a vaporizer for generating vaporized medicant upon inhalation by the user;   at least one sensor measuring a parameter of the vapor; and   
       a processor for calculating an amount of inhaled medicant from the measurements, and
 a display provided on said device for indicating said amount.
