Next generation hand-held nebulisers for aerosol drug delivery: using microfluidics to tune particle size [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Chronic respiratory diseases (Asthma, COPD) affect 14% of Australians with a greater disease burden felt by elderly and young patients. These patients experience more difficulty administering medication through conventional inhalers due to a lack of coordination and dexterity. We present a patented technology which improves the pulmonary delivery of medication through a microfluidic method, within a system designed specifically to improve user experience and patient monitoring.
