Claim 6:
7. A method of providing aerosolized fluid to a patient, comprising:
detecting a breath cycle with a breath sensor using at least one breath sensor of an aerosolization device;
predicting a timing of an inhalation, using the aerosolization device, by monitoring signals from the at least one breath sensor over one or more breath cycles of the patient;
determining a duration of inhalation of the breath cycle; and
vibrating a vibratable member of the aerosolization device to aerosolize fluid at a predetermined time before a start of and during an inhalation cycle based on the predicted timing of the inhalation, wherein the predetermined time comprises a time period between 1% and 30% before the start of a predicted inhalation with respect to the duration of inhalation.
