Abstract

We explore the design of a smart inhaler with electrostatic sterilizer and propose the utilization of cationic amphiphilic peptides, independently or in conjunction with a bronchodilator, for COVID-19 patients to quickly improve wellbeing while maintaining a strategic distance to protect healthcare personnel from virus-containing aerosol or droplets during the process of inhalation.
