HOW CUTTING EDGE IN SILICO APPROACHES CAN REDUCE TIME AND RISK IN DEVELOPMENT OF INHALATION DEVICES

Dr Peter Harley, Mariam Al-Amari and Matt Jones explore how in silico approaches can transform pulmonary and nasal drug delivery device development, illustrating through case studies – spanning low-global-warming potential propellants, assembly robustness, device-user interaction, variability and capsule piercing dynamics – how simulation-led in silico approaches can improve understanding of device performance and identify risks early, reducing development costs and accelerating the path to more reliable, innovative and patient-friendly drug-device systems.
