Alannah Mack, MD, MBA, is the co-founder of AYR, alongside her co-founder, April Villanueva, BSN, PHN, RN, CAPA. AYR is a cutting-edge smart inhaler designed for emergency respiratory rescue. The AYR smart inhaler utilizes voice prompts and visual feedback to guide users in inhaler technique, while sensors detect the mouthpiece seal to ensure the administration of a therapeutic dose. This innovation will benefit the 34 million Americans living with respiratory disease. Just as Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) transformed cardiac emergency response, the AYR smart inhaler will revolutionize asthma management, making it easy for anyone to administer an inhaler when it's most needed.
