MyMistiâ„¢ can fill a key gap in the market to provide fast respiratory relief from nasal congestion and other symptomatic relief so that the overall burden on families caused by respiratory bugs can be reduced. I am excited for MyMistiâ„¢ to be on our pharmacy shelves soon due to the unique features of efficient aerosol treatment in the child-friendly nebuliser mask thus providing an easy-to-use tool in your medicine cabinet at home (or handbag!).

Respiratory diseases like RSV - can create problems for young children where their small airways can get swollen and congested. RSV has no specific treatments, and oxygen is given in the case of low oxygen saturation in a hospital setting. At-home care is limited to saline drops or nasal sprays which can reach only the upper airways. Misti's nebuliser can deliver saline as a mist into deep spaces of the lungs to break down thick mucus to relieve breathing difficulties. In the future, I can see that exciting medicines such as chemotherapy drugs and even vaccines could be delivered this way.

We always have a tough time giving our son any medicine, even Panadol. It usually ends up with us having to pin him down, which is super distressing for everyone. But after showing him MyMisti, he picked it up and put it on. It turned into a fun game with giggles instead of a scary ordeal. I can already tell this is going to be a game-changer!

My son has an immune deficiency and often gets really congested with his lungs. We’ve been doing physio, where he blows bubbles in a bottle to help with his lung capacity and clear the gunk. MyMisti delivers on making life easier for parents and truly helps clear the congestion as deep as the lungs, it’s going to be a game-changer. As a parent, knowing that a product is safe, comforting, and not intimidating is really important. Anything you can do to make the user comfortable matters. MyMisti feels like the Apple Vision Pro—impressive as a starting point.

Our Story

Dr Anushi (Kulasiri) Rajapaksa

My journey with Misti began at the tender age of 7, fueled by a profound fear of needles that made receiving even basic medical care a daunting challenge - for myself and my parents! It became evident that there were countless other children like me facing similar fears.

​

Over the past 15 years, my unwavering commitment to this cause has driven my career in R&D research. Building upon the foundation of my PhD, I dedicated a decade to addressing this problem as a senior researcher, generously funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council at Melbourne's esteemed Royal Children's Hospital, while being a mom to two wonderful children.

 

For the last 5 years, my focus has been on refining Misti's design and conducting rigorous pre-clinical testing to put an end to children's respiratory viruses and the discomfort they cause and safely breathe back health into households.
