Nasal Decongestion in South Africa

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Our design challenge is to create a better solution for nasal decongestion for the middle class in South Africa. The Stanford University team of Mechanical Engineers is partnered with a University of St. Gallen team of Master’s of Business Innovation students to address this task. Our corporate sponsor, Merck, has approached our team of seven with this goal of reinventing and redesigning the current solution for nasal decongestion. Merck would ultimately like to penetrate the African market and they believe that South Africa will set the trends for the rest of Africa because they are the most Western-leaning country. The middle class is the selected user group because Merck similarly believes that this rapidly expanding demographic will set the trends for other classes.
