MISTI


Developer of a mesh‑free, breath‑synchronised pulmonary delivery platform designed to improve consistency, particle control and real‑world usability of inhaled therapies. The platform combines high‑frequency acoustic aerosol generation, breath detection, a wearable patient interface, pre‑filled liquid cartridges and a connected digital layer to enable formulation‑conscious aerosolisation, delivery visibility and co‑development with pharmaceutical and healthcare partners. The program is at early technical and usability validation stages with a defined pathway toward regulatory translation and manufacturability.

News & Updates

Platform development is grounded in over 10 years of academic and peer‑reviewed work in surface acoustic wave aerosolisation and acoustofluidics.

Internal aerosol testing reports MMAD of approximately 2–4 µm, GSD ~1.1 and fine particle fraction >90% under defined conditions.

University of Melbourne Digital Simulation Lab pre‑pilot testing with caregivers and children (n=15) reported high preference versus spacer and positive usability metrics (e.g., 92% preferred MedMisti over a spacer).

Initial in‑vitro studies indicate acoustic aerosolisation did not cause statistically meaningful loss of biological activity for lipid nanoparticle mRNA constructs.
