Introducing Amelior - an patient controlled oral-analgesia from Solaece Technologies Inc

We have at last finalized everything for this BE design project.

The name of our product was based on the word ameliorate - Amelior - which basically focuses on the point that this oral analgesia relieves pain.

The same concept was used for the company name - Solaece Technologies Inc (solace).

Below are the final specifications for our product, design drawings, operation descriptions, feature/benefit chart, and other...

Specifications:

Operation Descriptions:

1. The inhaler is inserted into the docking station, which will automatically reload the inhaler’s single-dose capacity chamber and lock the inhaler in place.
2. After a doctor-prescribed amount of time, the inhaler will be unlocked and ready for use.
3. The patient undocks the inhaler and slides the lever down to open the chamber for inhalation.
4. After the patient inhales the medication through the mouthpiece, the inhaler is placed back in the docking station which records the time of docking and undocking for the doctor’s records.

The two detail design options that we chose were the fact the device was composed of a docking station and an inhaler and the fact that the device uses a dry-powder inhalant

Inhaler + Docking Device:

Amelior^® differs from most inhalers in that it features a two-piece system, an inhaler and a docking station.

These two pieces are separate primarily to reduce the risk of overdosage or addiction. The inhaler only holds one dose at a time and won’t reload if that dose is not taken at the prescribed time. Having separate pieces also allows the docking station to record a timestamp for docking and undocking.

A separate inhaler also provides the patient with a more familiar and comfortable experience. Patients and onlookers have become accustomed to the look and operation of a conventional inhaler, and this device will replicate that familiarity.

Dry-Powder Inhalant:

Dry-powder inhalers offer several advantages over conventional gas or liquid inhalers. They are easier to use as they utilize the patient’s inhalation to deliver the medicine, as opposed to inhalers that “push” medicine into the patient’s mouth. Oftentimes aerosol inhalers are difficult to use properly which can induce coughing and expel medication.

Dry-powder is also more comfortable to inhale because unlike aerosol inhalants, it is tasteless and virtually unnoticeable.

Finally, dry-powder is less risky to carry in a portable electronic device that might be prone to physical shock, where liquids or gases could cause permanent damage.
