Problem

Chronic respiratory conditions, such as Asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), are a huge and growing problem. It continues to take a heavy toll on patients despite the development of many new treatments, due to incorrect administration technique of medication and poor compliance.

Studies have shown that more than half of patients inhale their medication wrongly causing drugs to be deposited at the back of the throat instead of the lungs. This results in diminishing efficacy and unwanted side effects when medication is swallowed instead.

Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to inhaler error with no solution available that helps them retain correct technique. Patients also find it difficult to manage and comply with their medication routine, often forgetting if they have taken their daily dose. Because of this, many still have poor control causing exacerbation of symptoms such as shortness of breath and resulting in twice the number of hospitalization and three times higher healthcare costs.
