Problem
Respiratory illnesses in children often require treatments that are difficult to administer, causing distress for both children and parents. Current at-home care options, such as saline drops and nasal sprays, may not effectively reach the lower airways. This can lead to increased hospitalizations and significant financial burden on families.
Solution
Misti is developing a low-cost nebulizer system that uses proprietary sound-wave technology to deliver aerosolized treatments directly to the lungs, providing fast and effective relief from respiratory discomfort. The MyMisti™ product is designed as a family-friendly, easy-to-use inhaler suitable for at-home use in children and adults. The system delivers medication or saline as a mist into the deep spaces of the lungs to break down thick mucus and relieve breathing difficulties. Misti aims to reduce the overall burden on families caused by respiratory illnesses, offering a more accessible and less intimidating treatment option.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes families with young children, pharmacies, kindergartens, elderly care facilities, and childcare centers seeking accessible and effective at-home respiratory relief.
