take a deep breath

i have to report on respire, a coordinated project with stanford’s design group and their medical center to provide super low cost asthma spacer for inhalers for children in mexico.

this is such a clear example of human intelligence, applied to an important problem, creating real progress and alleviating suffering. with this redesign the cost of spacers drops from $50 to pennies. they’re easier to manufacture. and the result should be improved health care for 8 million young asthma sufferers in mexico and potentially everywhere. such goodness!!
