Episode 006 - Core Independent Peripherals and the battle against Child Asthma

Asthma is a global phenomenon. According to the World Health Organization, Asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019.  In the United States alone, the Centers for Disease Control estimates there are over 4.6 million children under the age of 18 with Asthma. According to the Global Asthma Report in 2022, Asthma is ""well controlled"" in nearly 2/3rds of adults. That number drops below 45% in children aged 5-14. While it is the most common chronic disease among children, inhaled medication can control asthma symptoms and allow people with asthma to lead a normal, active life. Not surprisingly, areas of lower to middle income are most affected. What if there was a low-cost, reliable, and portable alternative? What would that do to combat Asthma and other respiratory ailments?   How could Microchip Technology help ease the suffering of children around the world?   Links from the episode: Nebulizer Design Solutions | Microchip Technology  Medical | Microchip Technology  2023 World Asthma Day - Global Initiative for Asthma - GINA (ginasthma.org)    Guest: Zhang Feng Zhang Feng | LinkedIn
