Good idea! I don't really have many comments on your idea, I think it's solid and will work. I think you may be able to drop the price below $400, I don't think you'll need any extremely expensive components to make your device.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, you can probably fit more than 3 doses into your inhaler (that's only 1.5mg of medicine!) which will mean less refills. It's up to you though, you have to tread the line between potential abuse and patient convenience.
