Breathe Easy

So what's the concern here?

Inhalers require quite a bit of force to be used. This makes them much more difficult to use by those with weaker hands or tremors, such as younger individuals, older indiviudals, or people with certain neurodegenerative conditions.

And how was this intended to be addressed?

Devise accessories that would make use of an inhaler much easier for indivudals with hand impairments. I focused on a device with a biting mechanism. Due to design constraints, this device was completely mechanical.

Looking forward:

Improve the rubber grip on the mouthpiece and test the product for real-life use.
