There is a growing interest in delivering medicines by inhalation, not only medicines that treat the lungs and airways, but also ones that act systemically. Vaccines, for instance, can be given as inhalation instead of injection.

In order to replace injections with inhalation, Iconovo is working to solve challenges around creating fail-proof and fit-for purpose products that are easy to use. Inhalers are also disposable items, thus manufactured in large volumes. It must be possible to manufacture the inhaler at a low unit cost and meet the large volume requirements for a popular product.
