54 Two products that reduce the stigma of taking asthma medication in public, aimed at the image-conscious school age market. Breathe is a compact accessory that holds the standard medication canister and fits neatly into pockets or bags. Intuitively self-sealing, it can be opened in seconds for use when needed, and when closed prevents dust and fluff ingression. Breezy is a bag that holds any make of inhalers and spacer, allowing children to carry their own medication thus promoting responsibility and encouraging self medication. Both are designed to have a ecoolf image for young people and school children alike. Katherine Gough/Industrial Design Engineering breathe: asthma medication packaging
