Your Inhaler. Automatically Tracked. Perfectly Timed.
Respire LYF detects every inhaler use on your Apple Watch. No buttons, no logging. Automatic tracking that reveals your real inhaler use patterns.
Why Your Inhaler Isn't Working
Even if you're taking your medication exactly as prescribed, you might be getting less than 50% effectiveness.
make at least one technique error every time
That's 9 out of 10 people
perform multiple steps incorrectly
Doing 20%+ of steps wrong
get zero medication to their lungs
That's 1 in 3 wasting their entire dose

Most of your medication may never reach your lungs.
When used incorrectly, 90% stays in your mouth, throat, or is simply wasted.That's your expensive medication doing nothing for your lungs.
FIGURE: Poor inhaler technique results in most medication staying in the mouth and throat, with less than 10% reaching the lungs. Source: "Inhaler treatment options in COPD." European Respiratory Review, 2005;14(96):102-108. PMC1199035
Inhaler not shaken before use
Shake for 4-5 seconds before each use
Head tilted or incorrect inhaler angle
Keep neck straight, hold inhaler at ~45°
Failing to exhale fully before use
Empty your lungs completely (2-3 seconds) before each puff
Not holding breath after inhalation
Hold for 5-10 seconds to let medication settle in your lungs
Multiple puffs without delay
Wait 30-60 seconds between puffs to ensure proper delivery
The Hidden Cost
Poor technique leads to more exacerbations, emergency visits, and hospitalizations - even when you're "compliant" with your medication schedule. Your technique matters just as much as taking the dose.
Two Problems. One Solution.
