With one in twelve children suffering from a serious food-related allergy, the need for a proper food allergy management system is a real concern for many parents.
Luckily, the 'Allerguarder' aims to ensure your child is able to avoid an allergic reaction when they're out of your sight. This medical bracelet acts like a protective beacon that can be programmed with data describing your child's specific food allergy, and also describe how the allergy is specifically triggered as well.
Anyone who has downloaded the companion app for this food allergy management system, like say a coach, teacher or babysitter, will be notified when your child is within a 50-foot radius. The bracelet will then let people know which foods to avoid exposing your child to, and will let you rest a little easier.
