This Playful Nebulizer for Children turns Medical Stigma into 'Inclusive Inhalation' - Yanko Design
Briefly

ZooBree reimagines nebulizers by turning them into animal-shaped inhalation devices, aimed at reducing children's fear and making therapy interactive. The device features masks of different characters like Mimi the Cat, Roar the Lion, and Pip the Hamster, each catering to a child's emotional needs. The design gives children a sense of agency by allowing them to choose their 'treatment buddy.' Additionally, sound-based feedback transforms their voice into animal sounds, promoting a fun breathing experience. A ritual at the end of each session reinforces a positive association with treatment by using stamps that mark courage on their cheeks.
