Food Allergy Detective

This is a great idea given that increasingly more people are struggling with allergies. The primary feature where a user can scan a product and quickly see if & what kind of reaction they might have after consuming it is both practical and immediately helpful. It's amazing that the authors leaned on the experience of medical professional to direct their design. There is a lot of potential here to iterate on the idea using user interviews or even building a mockup to obtain feedback and then use that feedback to focus on how to make the app work better for real life user.

Your app to support individuals with food allergies is a great idea! I especially loved that you interviewed the school nurse. That’s a very smart way to bring in expert insights! You could consider adding a feature where users can upload a list of their specific allergies. This could help the app recommend safe, alternative products that meet their dietary needs.
