Allergies are on the rise around the world with no signs of slowing down. How might we create a service that allows people to better understand their allergies and prepare for them.
Key Features
|
Allergy Concentration Map
People drop a pin within the app, if they are having an allergy attack. These pins are collected in real time to show the user where allergens are the worst. Known allergens are shown in purple while allergens outside the users known realm are represented in blue.

|
|
History
Users can check monthly to see what allergens were near them. Giving them an idea of what they may be allergic to. Allergy tests can cost between $350 and $1200. Giving people the ability to make an educated guess about when they are allergic to and when it is most prevalent could be very helpful.

The Journey |
|
I wanted to really get a feel and have a constant reminder of what a day in the life of an allergy sufferer was like to bring home the idea that if properly designed this app could actually really help people.
?$ |
Often when people have allergies they don't actually know what they are allergic to; leading to unnecessary suffering.
A through allergy test can be between $500 to $1200, often out of many peoples financial reach.

While weather sites and news give people a broad view of allergens they are ofter broad but limited (eg. Top 5 allergens will be high today).
