VAPOR
Nebulizer
The main objective here was to design a nebulizer that is discreet, does not make the user feel ill or weak while using it and is suitable for the category of target audience.
The desired outcome here was, a nebulizer that meets the key requirements and is comfortable and convenient for the target audience to use in various public places. The design should be user-friendly, discreet, and efficient in delivering the required nebulization.

These are some brain storming ideation sketches for designing a nebulizer.
The main key here was to make the design discreet.
Concept Sketches for Mask Nebulizer
The final concept we came up with was integrating a nebulizer cartridge within a face mask that can be attachable and detachable whenever needed.

NEBULIZER for Low-income Individuals
We have designed a nebulizer for economically disadvantaged people, where in we value engineered the nebulizer and got it down to the lowest cost as possible without adjusting the functionality and the quality of it.
We wanted to provide a subsidized nebulizer to the poor people with in the price range of Rs. 150-200
