A system and method to predict churn in relation to use of a treatment device by a patient is disclosed. A communication interface collects event data relating to operating the treatment device delivering medicament to the patient. The event data and clinical data of the patient is stored. A churn analysis module inputs the event data and clinical data and applies a machine learning model to determine the likelihood of churn for the patient over a predetermined period from the input event data and clinical data. The machine learning model is trained from a machine learning pipeline having inputs of event data and clinical data from a population of patients using the treatment device to determine at least one trigger for patient churn. It is determined whether the likelihood of churn is over a threshold value. An action relating to the patient is triggered if the likelihood of churn is over the threshold value.

Usage monitoring attachment for medicament dispenser
Systems and methods are described for monitoring usage of a medicament dispenser—particularly an inhaled medicament dispenser. While operating in a low-power mode, a first sensor is monitored for a signal indicative of handling of the medicament dispenser by a user. In response to detecting such handling, the device exits the low-power mode and begins to monitor a second sensor for a signal indicative of dispensing of the medicament. The usage monitoring device can be embodied as an attachment configured to be selectively coupled to one of a variety of different inhalers including, for example, a Diskus-type inhaler and a Respimat-type inhaler.

Abstract
An application server predicts respiratory disease risk, rescue medication usage, exacerbation, and healthcare utilization using trained predictive models. The application server includes model modules and submodel modules, which communicate with a database server, data sources, and client devices. The submodel modules train submodels by determining submodel coefficients based on training data from the database server. The submodel modules further determine statistical analysis data and estimates for medication usage events, healthcare utilization, and other related events. The model modules combine submodels to predict respiratory disease risk, exacerbation, rescue medication usage, healthcare utilization, and other related information. Model outputs are provided to users, including patients, providers, healthcare companies, electronic health record systems, real estate companies and other interested parties.
