BLOOM
a credit-card sized inhaler
Bloom is a credit-card sized inhaler. It holds 6 doses of relief medication, and is refillable with your prescription inhaler canister. With Bloom, you can leave your bulky inhaler at home. Bloom is refilled using a patient's prescription inhaler. The nozzle of the inhaler is inserted into the refilling valve, creating a hermetic seal. With each pump of the inhaler, one dose is transferred and stored into Bloom for use at a later time. When the user feels an asthma attack coming on, they can use Bloom like an ordinary inhaler: one press of the trigger administers one precise dose of medication deep intro the lungs.
