The Clinical Need & Challenge
- Aromatherapy is already an acceptable mode of non-invasive practice in many hospitals, and is used to reduce nausea, anxiety, and pain in some patients.
- Some hospitals provide limited aromatherapy through in house pharmacy services. Current process relies on large multi dose bottles as a delivery system, leaving aromatherapy underutilized.
- Need for easy to use way to incorporate aromatherapy in the clinical setting.
The Clinical Answer
- Smellease presents an easy-to-store and easy to-use-solution to facilitate on demand, single serve aromatherapy in clinical settings
- Clinical Trial Summary: Nurses' perception favored use of single packet delivery method of aromatherapy. High ease of use for single-packet version. Perception that aromatherapy is effective in use in perioperative setting (4.4/5)
