The Problem

Allergies are a silent epidemic — millions worldwide suffer from food, seasonal, and environmental triggers, yet most don’t even know what they’re allergic to or rely on memory or scattered notes to manage them. Current solutions are fragmented: some apps focus on food scanning, others on journaling, but none provide a comprehensive, intelligent, and community-driven tool. There is a lack of tools to help deal with allergies holistically, from tracking interaction with triggers to helping seek aid for allergy symptoms. Despite the large population of people suffering from allergies, it is a heavily under-researched field and both the medical associations and governments have insufficient data regarding the syndromes, triggers, treatments and cures related to allergies.

The Solution

AllerTrack is a smart allergy management app that helps users:

• Log reactions (time, symptoms, severity, suspected triggers).
  
  
• Track meals, environments, pollen count, or exposures.
  
  
• Detect patterns with AI (e.g., “3 reactions after dairy last week”).
  
  
• Access Emergency Mode: one button to notify a parent, doctor, or caregiver.
  
  
• Maintain medical history: records of steroidal medications, prescriptions, and photos linked with reaction data.
  
  
• Explore alternative medicine insights (homoeopathy, Ayurveda, natural remedies).
  
  
• Build a local community of allergy sufferers — share remedies, safe restaurants, pollen alerts, and support.
• Provide aggregated, anonymised data to governments for public health planning.

Who Would Benefit

There are 5 main groups of beneficiaries. First and foremost it benefits individuals with allergies who can get control, reduce risk, and thus improve their quality of life. Next, it benefits parents of allergic children by providing them with peace of mind with caregiver alerts and logs. Doctors & clinics are provided with rich patient data for diagnosis and treatment. Communities can access safe food/product recommendations and come together to fight allergy triggers. Lastly Governments can use real-time allergy data to shape smarter health and environmental policies (e.g., banning high-pollen plants like canocarpus in sensitive areas, regulating pigeon feeding practices).

Why It’s Important to Me

I personally suffer from seasonal allergies and managing them is a daily struggle. Failing to recognise triggers and forgetting the means to deal with them and last-minute medical emergencies are all too familiar and often have detrimental effects on my work and attendance. Building AllerTrack is not just a project — it’s solving a problem that affects my own health and millions like me who need a smarter way to live safely.
