Medical device and instructions for use
Inbrija™ is a prescription medicine used for the return of Parkinson's symptoms (OFF periods). The medication is a levodopa powder delivered via a special inhaler, I designed the illustrations and the instructions-for-use and other collateral based on watching people with Parkinson's interact with the device and the instruction booklet. The original form was a multi-page booklet, but after some surprising findings, I switched to a large fold-out pamphlet.
