A group of pharmacy Students at the University of Karachi have developed what they claim to be the world’s smallest rechargeable nebulizer. Their innovative creation aims to make an eco-friendly, affordable and accessible therapy for respiratory diseases widely available.

A revolutionary design

The innovative nebulizer is less than an inch thick and is designed to be highly portable, so it can be used anywhere from the office to vacation spots. Even though it is small, the device can be used continuously for up to 35 minutes on a single charge and can last for two days without needing to be recharged. This makes it a useful option for people who need regular respiratory therapy but have difficulty with large, cumbersome tools.

Sustainable and economical

The new nebulizer is both compact and efficient, and does not harm the environment. It offers an affordable alternative to existing nebulizers and addresses environmental issues with bioplastics. Unlike most conventional nebulizers, which are big, noisy and expensive (ranging from Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000), this device costs less than Rs 2,000, making it more affordable for a wider variety of people. sick in need.

Transparent and practical

The device is designed to be both discreet and easy to use; it is wireless and works without making noise. It is compatible with modern charging standards as it has both micro-USB and USB-C connectors. This allows you to use the nebulizer in public places discreetly and easily.

Hit for widespread effect

Students Taha Ishaq, Syed Waliuddin, Syeda Arshiya, Zohaib Salman, Maham Zaidi, Priyan Khan and Tuba Saleem worked under the leadership of Abdul Rahman Siddiqui to increase access to healthcare in Pakistan. Their goal is to provide concrete answers to health problems, such as the fact that respiratory therapy devices are expensive and difficult to use.

Patients of all ages can benefit from this inexpensive, environmentally friendly nebulizer, but those with compromised respiratory systems, such as the young and elderly, require therapy more frequently. The group’s goal is to make a difference through its creation, which will help people in need of respiratory treatment in a practical, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way.
