This Bluetooth-Enabled Wristband Helps Prevent Food Allergies, AllerGuarder Reveals

For the 1 in 13 children who are affected by food allergies, a startup called AllerGuarder, announced a Bluetooth-powered allergy awareness wristband which is now on Kickstarter.

The wristband sends alerts about a child’s dangerous food allergies to anyone who has downloaded the free app and comes in contact with the child. “The child’s identity is fully protected from strangers but all others who have been given special ‘Trusted Friend’ status–relatives, friends, or school staff–will also receive detailed personal and medical information” the company says.
