The Allergy Amulet

About

The Allergy Amulet is a portable and wearable food allergen sensor designed to empower individuals with food allergies to test their food on the go. It offers a simple and fast detection method, providing results within approximately one minute. The device consists of a reader and a single-use sampler. Users insert a small food sample into the sampler, connect it to the Amulet, and follow the prompts to receive an alert indicating whether an allergen is present. The Allergy Amulet is part of Amulet's mission to improve food safety and health outcomes. It targets the detection of common allergens, including peanuts, soy, and gluten. While initially focusing on these allergens, the technology aims to expand to test for more. The device is customizable in design, available as a necklace, wristband, or keychain, making it both functional and stylish. It serves as a supplement to standard precautions for managing food allergies, providing an extra layer of safety when dining out or consuming prepared foods.
