Impact of Patient Needs on Design and Usage of an Inhalation Device in Respiratory Medicine
Moroni-Zentgraf P.
RDD Europe 2013. Volume 1, 2013: 141-152.
Abstract:
Multiple factors should be considered when developing inhalation devices for chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Device characteristics influence the effectiveness of drug deposition and ease of use. The ability of a patient to operate a device correctly as well as their willingness to adhere to long-term inhaled medication may impact treatment efficacy and subsequent disease control. Physician and patient preferences for devices also influence their selection and use in clinical practice. Inhaler design features should be explored and finalized early in clinical development.
