Hispanic And Latino Underserved With Medical Devices
The Hispanic and Latino population in the United States is one of the most powerful economic forces in today's economy. Their contribution to both the economy as far as their labor as well as their spending has a profound impact any economic system that they are affiliated with. However, this market has for years been truly underserved in the field of medical devices as they have not had sufficient access to these health products. One of the most common health conditions in the Latino community is in fact asthma which afflicts millions of individuals in the population throughout the communities in this country. It occurs when the lungs are not able to get enough oxygen and then as a result you are at risk of experiencing an asthma attack. The difficult thing about this health condition is the fact that it can come about just about at any time. One of the medical devices that has been for so many years used for this respiratory condition is a nebulizer. A nebulizer is used to specifically administer medication in the form of a vapor so that it can be breathed in through the lungs in a very simple manner and to go to work much faster than traditional means of taking the prescription. Unfortunately the Hispanic community has not had proper access to such a useful product and as a result have suffered a great deal that could have been avoided. Fortunately, due to the advancement in technology the nebulizer has become significantly less expensive that now it can be afforded by almost anybody in need of the product in their home setting. Also, because it is quite portable one can actually easily take the product from one place to another quite easily and always have access to their medication in vapor form whenever they need it.
