KEY PAIN POINT


An asthma attack can happen at any time, so the inhaler needs to be consistently carried on a person. That is why LUFT is designed as an EDC instead of a medical device. The enclosed design does not need additional covers for dirt protection. The inhaler can be used one handed and is ready when you need it.

CHANGED PERSPECTIVE


LUFT challenges the low-quality, disposable nature of conventional inhalers, reducing unnecessary waste. Its covered mouthpiece and guided sliding mechanism support intuitive, reliable use in an emergency. Inspired by consumer and lifestyle products, LUFT shifts the inhaler from a stigmatizing medical device to an everyday carry that encourages an active life.

USE CASE CENTERED


Form, Material and color are a big step away from a medical device on purpose! Luft is a product that the end user not only trusts and relies on, but is willing to integrate into an active lifestyle. By reusing the inhaler it balances product longevity and component recyclability.
