Problem
Many patients with lung conditions struggle to manage their symptoms effectively due to limitations in existing inhaler technologies. Current devices often fail to deliver medication precisely to the targeted areas of the lungs, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. This is especially problematic for advanced pharmaceutical compounds requiring accurate and efficient pulmonary delivery.
Solution
Gilbert Technologies is developing a Smart Precision Inhaler that utilizes proprietary electrospray technology to improve the pulmonary delivery of medications. The device employs Electro Hydrodynamic Atomization (EHDA) to generate a monodispersed aerosol with customizable droplet sizes, enabling precise targeting of drugs to specific regions within the lungs. This approach aims to enhance the efficacy and safety of inhaled treatments by optimizing aerosol generation for both small and large molecule therapies in solution and suspension formulations. The breath-actuated inhaler creates a soft mist, potentially improving drug delivery and therapy adherence for patients.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes pharmaceutical and biotech companies developing innovative inhaled treatments, as well as patients with difficult-to-treat lung conditions who require more precise and effective drug delivery.
