1. A method for adjusting dosage of an agent comprising:
receiving, from at least one sensor positioned in an exhalation path of a user and configured to detect analytes in exhaled breath of the user, information generated based on the exhaled breath of the user;
processing the information to determine a concentration of a first analyte and an absence of a second analyte in the exhaled breath;
determining an adjustment to a delivery device configured to deliver the agent to the user based, at least in part, on the concentration of the first analyte,
wherein the information generated based on the exhaled breath of the user is from multiple discrete measurements during multiple discrete sessions of the at least one sensor detecting the analytes in the exhaled breath of the user;
providing one or more visual instructions on a display that instruct the user on how to operate the delivery device to implement the determined adjustment;
determining one or more medications taken by the user by accessing electronic medical records at a remote system associated with the user listing the one or more medications; and
determining a discrepancy in the one or more medications taken by the user based on the absence of the second analyte and one or more analytes associated with the one or more medications;
causing a transmission of a first message to the remote system based on the determination of the discrepancy in the one or more medications;
receiving, from the remote system, a confirmation receipt for the first message; and
verifying authenticity of the confirmation receipt based, at least in part, on a key transmitted with the confirmation receipt.
