Twist MDI
The Twist MDI is an innovative twist-actuated pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) that reimagines traditional inhaler technology with a focus on cost efficiency, user safety, and sustainable design. By integrating a unique twist-to-unlock dosing mechanism, it delivers reliable medication while addressing modern concerns around environmental impact and child safety.
-
Our Twist MDI features a streamlined chassis that reduces plastic usage by up to 35% compared to standard pMDIs. This not only supports environmental sustainability but also lowers unit production costs, making it an attractive solution for high-volume manufacturing and global markets.
-
The inhaler includes an intuitive twist-to-unlock mechanism that prevents accidental discharge and helps meet child-resistance safety standards. This feature enhances peace of mind for caregivers while aligning with regulatory safety expectations.
-
While maintaining the proven pressurized aerosol delivery patients trust, the twist actuation adds an extra layer of safety and precision, reducing the risk of unintentional actuation in backpacks, purses, or around children.
-
Compatible with modern HFA propellants and adaptable for future low-global-warming-potential alternatives, Twist MDI is designed to evolve alongside regulatory shifts and environmental targets.
-
The slim, modern form factor is easy for all age groups to hold and operate, including pediatric and geriatric users, and features large visual cues for proper use.
Optimist Smart Inhaler
The Optimist Smart Inhaler is a revolutionary advancement in respiratory care—fusing trusted pMDI delivery with mobile-connected dosing control, AI-driven safety features, and real-time adherence tools. Designed for the modern, connected patient, Optimist™ empowers users and clinicians to collaborate more effectively, reduce misuse, and deliver better respiratory outcomes through smart, intuitive technology.
-
Optimist connects seamlessly to a secure smartphone app, enabling patients, caregivers, or providers to schedule doses, lock or limit inhaler access, and track usage data. This feature supports safe, structured medication routines, especially for pediatric, elderly, or high-risk users.
-
Future-ready with AI-powered visual sensors, Optimist is capable of recognizing lip movements to verify verbal prompts before actuation. This lip-reader technology ensures medication is only dispensed when the patient is physically and mentally ready—helping prevent waste, accidental actuation, and misuse.
-
Every dose is logged and synced in real time, allowing for daily monitoring, missed dose alerts, and data sharing with providers. Optimist empowers care teams with insights that support early interventions and long-term adherence.
-
Integrated safety features alert users when their maximum daily dose is reached, and can lock further actuation until unlocked via the app. This helps prevent dangerous overuse, particularly for patients on corticosteroids or reliever medications.
-
An optional AI module can deliver inhalation guidance through voice, animation, or haptic feedback, helping patients improve technique and maximize lung deposition with each use.
