Le dispositif comprend un récipient dimensionné de manière à pouvoir être porté par le patient et contenant une chambre renfermant une composition médicamenteuse constituée d'un excipient pharmaceutiquement acceptable mélangé à un chimio-irritant, de préférence de l'acide tartrique L; une valve de nébulisation reliée à la chambre de manière à définir un orifice de sortie; une source de forces de motivation reliée à la chambre de manière à entraîner la composition à travers l'ouverture ménagée dans la valve de nébulisation afin de provoquer la nébulisation de la composition. Un émetteur sans fil réagissant à l'activation du nébuliseur pour envoyer un signal sans fil sollicitant une assistance médicale; et une source de puissance connectée de manière opérationnelle afin de permettre l'alimentation en puissance.
