I have a wheat allergy, it stinks. I also have either a corn or milk allergy. They all manifest as dermatitis. It *really* stinks. But, except for the wheat, I'm not 100% what causes me problems. So, I started thinking about how I might diary my food and other allergen exposures, and how that might look on a graph.
So, I wondered, if anyone else out there might be looking for software to help with this sort of thing. Especially if that software might integrate with a mobile device or iPhone, and allow for exposure diaries on the road.
The idea itself is fairly simple. You record when you believe you've been exposed to an allergen: soy, wheat, seafood, etc... even if just a guess. You then record your current state of reaction (in my case skin problems), or other symptoms. Combine that with some environmental allergen info, and you get a pretty graph of all these events.
Now, the fun part - overlaying exposure with the reactions to discover patterns in food allergies.
Neat huh? I'm going to start polishing what I have as an end-user application, but I'm looking for beta users and other features you might be interested in. Email Me, I'd be interested in hearing about your needs.
