The Micro Rechargeable Nebuliser is Developed by Karachi University
In an effort to make respiratory disease therapy more widely available, reasonably priced, and environmentally friendly, students from the University of Karachi‘s pharmacy department have created what they say is the smallest rechargeable nebuliser in the world.
With a width of less than an inch, this small nebuliser is portable enough to be used at home, at the office, or on the go, providing a practical solution for people with respiratory disorders.
According to the developers, who were final-year pharmacy students, wintertime increases in ambient pollution make respiratory conditions like asthma more prevalent. They claim that this compact gadget offers a convenient and portable substitute for conventional nebulisers, with up to 35 minutes of use on a single charge.
The device is soundproof, allowing for discrete use in a variety of settings, and it can be charged by Type-C or mini USB ports. This nebuliser is wire-free and runs on rechargeable batteries, in contrast to traditional ones that are frequently large, noisy, and need a steady power source.
The chief creator, Abdul Rehman, revealed that their design provides an inexpensive choice priced under Rs2,000, whereas the majority of nebulisers cost between Rs8,000 and Rs10,000. He clarified, “We wanted to develop a nebuliser that was not only efficient but also affordable for families who might find it difficult to pay for medical equipment.”
The nebuliser is also environmentally beneficial because it is composed of bio-plastic, which lessens its influence on the environment. This makes it a sustainable and health-saving gadget.
Since children and the elderly are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses, nebulisers are especially crucial for them. According to Abdul Rehman, the device’s user-friendly design makes it appropriate for patients of all ages, particularly in settings where conventional nebulisers would be less useful, such as homes, workplaces, and schools.
The group, consisting of Maheem Zaidi, Parihan Khan, Tooba Saleem, Zohaib Salman, Abdul Rehman Siddiqui, Taha Ishaque, Syed Waliuddin, Syeda Arshia Maruf, and Zohaib Salman, feels their effort shows how Pakistani students can make significant contributions to science and technology.
In order to enhance healthcare solutions in Pakistan and around the world, they urged the government and educational institutions to fund and encourage such inventions.
