A new and better Bronchial Thermoplasty System
During my interchange semester at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, we worked together with Boston Scientific in order to redesign the Alair™ System. This system is also very useful during the hard times we are living, regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
This system allow us to do a Bronchial Thermoplasty.
Bronchial Termoplasty (BT) delivered by the Alair™ System, is a safe outpatient procedur for adult patients with severe asthma.
Our task was to redesign this system in order to make it more user-friendly and therefore efficient and easier to use.
