Medication tastes gross!

If you can taste your inhaler medication, it’s not reaching your lungs - where it’s needed most. 🫁

The AEROCHAMBER2GO® VHC helps ensure medication goes directly to the lungs, not your mouth or throat. That means better delivery, less waste, and more effective asthma control* - wherever life takes you.

Mention the word “microbiome” and my ears perk up. So you can imagine how excited I was to visit Dr. Leopoldo Segal’s laboratory at NYU Langone this week. His team focuses on the lung microbiome, and much of their research involves identifying non-culturable microbes that live in the lungs and may influence whether or not we experience exacerbations.

I am genuinely thrilled to participate in the biobank when, years ago, I signed off on them having access to my data and all bodily secretions. It was my way of contributing to science because I often do not qualify for clinical studies for bronchiectasis or MAC infections due to my low frequency of exacerbations.

Call me a little eccentric, but knowing that my data, sputum, and blood are now in their system and biobanks makes me feel proud.

Much more on this to come.

There are so many ways to get involved in research, whether by participating in a clinical trial or simply taking the time to complete surveys. I used to think those survey requests were a way for companies to sell my information to insurance companies. I was skeptical until I learned more.

Now I understand that the FDA requires patient input, which is why so many surveys exist. And when companies are deciding how to invest their research dollars, they rely on hearing from us to understand what the community truly needs.

So now, even when I am not feeling motivated, I still fill out the initial screening questions to see if I qualify for an interview or a detailed survey. That is also research.

And that counts.

After Thanksgiving, I will post an opportunity for our community to participate in a new survey.

I hope you will keep all of this in mind and fill out the preliminary information. And the good news is we will be paid for our time. I firmly believe that all stakeholders should be on equal footing. Scientists are compensated for their time and expertise, and we should be too.

If you choose to donate your honorarium to charity, that is entirely your decision. What matters most is that we have a seat at the table and that our time is valued.

Today is the Great American Smokeout, hosted by the American Cancer Society.

It’s a powerful reminder that quitting smoking—even for one day—can be the first step toward better lung health and a longer life. Within weeks of quitting, your lungs begin to heal, breathing becomes easier, and energy improves.

At Monaghan Medical, we support those taking the courageous step to quit. Every breath matters — today and every day. 🫁

Earlier this month, Monaghan Medical joined TDC’s 2025 Manufacturing Day!

Manufacturing Manager Jonathan Side walked 8th-grade students through assembling the AEROCHAMBER® VCH, turning it into a hands-on build challenge to show how quality and precision matter in medical device manufacturing.

Thank you to TDC for inviting us to help spark curiosity in the next generation of STEM talent!

Today, on World COPD Day, we stand together with others like the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD to raise awareness for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - often under-diagnosed, yet one of the world’s leading causes of respiratory disability and death. 🫁

COPD can affect anyone: smokers, former smokers, and even people who never smoked. It can develop over many years and may progress without obvious symptoms.
