Design Goal
Designing an inhaler is more than just a medical product; It also takes into account the aesthetics of the design and usability for users.
So, let’s make the “inhaler solving the need for ASTHMATICS as they deliver medicine directly to the lungs”!

Material
I choose recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for the main body due to its durability, eco-friendliness, and safety for medical applications. For the side grip, I selected rubber to prevent slipping and ensure a secure hold during use.
Color
I choose a bright orange as the primary color to make the inhaler easy to spot during emergencies, ensuring it's quickly accessible when needed.
