A couple of friends and I (back in London) tried to work on this exact same problem, we built an allergy-log app which in theory was going to sync with the doctor's office so that they could recommend a therapy (or even skip the visits with docs and specialists). Our monetizing strategy was to ship you the "therapy" and take a cut - we worked on it for 6 months and then..life threw us some lemons. Definitely a good idea and a missed opportunity!
As an allergy sufferer, I am super happy that you're pursuing this, going to bookmark it - good luck!!
- jacquesl 6y agoI’ve thought about similar apps, and gave up on the end because allergies were to complex to surface through logging. What type of allergies and tracking were you working on?
- orliesaurus 6y agoThe most common ones in food and the most common ones in the air. Our idea was to track how people react, compile a log and have it processed so that we can tell them - yup you have this one allergy because of this pattern of what you ate, did, the air you breath etc. based on the evidence submitted. It was a very long "LOG" but if people were serious about compiling it and didn't l eave things blank, the folks on our med team were certain we could have given them a "cure" that worked for their allergy. Ofc, this wouldn't work with super extreme cases where you're allergic to a very specific uncommon thing. but this is a 80/20 solution.
- jacquesl 6y agoThanks for that. In my case I suffered guessing and tracking for years before I gave in and had extensive tests done. As for cures, that’s another story.
