Joe’s brilliant asthma invention

Marlborough schoolboy Joe May came up with a smart idea for his recent Science Fair project – the Puff’n’Go inhaler carry case! Joe, who has severe asthma, always needs to have his inhaler on him. But he found that the carry cases currently on the market aren’t ideal, because he has to carry them in his hands and they’re not waterproof. This is a real problem for running, cycling and playing sports.

So Joe came up with a wearable and waterproof inhaler carrier, which you can strap onto your arm to carry your medication easily whatever activity you’re doing. His brilliant invention won the whole Marlborough Science Fair for the intermediate age group!

“I use my invention every day now for carrying around my inhaler and spacer,” says Joe, who is in Year 8 at Renwick School. “It’s so helpful for me and makes it easy to keep my inhaler with me at all times.”
