# Intentionally Tilted Asthma Inhalers The Conceptual 'Flohaler' Naturally Encourages Better Usage By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-08-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flohaler References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/08/21/this-award-winning-inhaler-guides-your-behavior-into-using-it-correctly-and-effectively/) & [jamesplimmer.design](https://www.jamesplimmer.design/) A large percentage of people who require inhalers for asthma and/or other [respiratory issues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alveos-one) don't use them correctly, so the conceptual 'Flohaler' has been created to help encourage better habits amongst patients. Designed by James Plimmer, the inhaler features an angled form that requires users to [tilt their head backwards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-beauty) when being used to open up the airway. The narrowed mouthpiece also works to slow down the user when inhaling as medication is often inhaled too quickly, which can decrease its effectiveness. The conceptual 'Flohaler' is an impressively designed [healthcare solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stylish-pill-box) that, while highly effective, doesn't make drastic changes to the original design of the inhaler. This makes it a realistic device that could be easily implemented into the industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Improved Asthma Inhalers:** Designing asthma inhalers with improved effectiveness and usage can disrupt the healthcare industry. - **Innovative Medical Devices:** Creating intuitively designed medical devices can lead to the development of disruptive technologies in healthcare. - **Digital Health Solutions:** Integrating digital health solutions with inhalers can revolutionize patient care and improve health outcomes. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** Improving asthma inhaler design has the potential to positively impact the healthcare industry. - **Medical Device:** Developing innovative and effective medical devices can disrupt the medical device industry. - **Pharmaceutical:** Integrating digital health solutions with inhalers has the potential to change the pharmaceutical industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [See-Through Medical Device Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberpunk-inhaler.md) - [Data-Driven Bluetooth Inhalers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goresp-digihaler.md) - [Compact Two-In-One Medical Spacers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trudell-medical.md) - [Lung Health-Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpen-spirometer.md) - [Playful Medical Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoobree-nebulizer.md) - [Shifting Hydration Cup Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilting-water-cup.md) - [Noninvasive Breathing Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-breath-analysis.md) - [Sustainable Aromatherapy Inhalers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aromanordic-inhaler.md) - [Child-Friendly Medication Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singing-bottle.md)
