After you register a user account through our Application or Site, you may activate and attach the Sensor to an inhaler. The Sensor detects and logs when the inhaler is actuated and uploads the data to our central server through the Application. The Sensor is battery operated and you will be notified in the Application when the battery is low. In addition, you may choose to program the Sensor to illuminate at specified times as a medication reminder. The Sensor is packaged with instructions.
The Gecko Service is intended for you to use to store personal health related information and to help you manage your disease or the disease of someone under your care. The materials provided in the Application and Site is for informational purposes only and should never be relied upon for specific medical advice.

Nothing on our Application or Site constitutes the establishment of a physician-patient relationship between you and Gecko. No information provided through the Services is intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any patient, or to otherwise be used or considered as medical advice, a medical opinion, or the practice of medicine.
