The problem this product is built around
A packaged food label or restaurant menu can hide the one ingredient that matters to you. Reading it manually is slow, translations are inconsistent, and a household list that treats every reaction as equally severe gives the wrong person the wrong advice. The useful question before eating is narrower: what did this image actually reveal, which part is an inference, and which profile is making the decision?
How AllergyLens solves it
AllergyLens uses the camera to read an ingredient list or menu, then presents a four-level result rather than a single safe/unsafe badge. It separates what the source text says from what the model inferred, and it keeps severity and emergency details on a per-person profile. A severe allergy can therefore have a different threshold and a different emergency card from a mild intolerance in the same household. Open the AllergyLens product page to see current availability and plan details.
A practical workflow
- Create one profile for each person who may use the scanner, and set the allergen plus severity before the first meal.
- Open the scan, keep the full label or menu in frame, and retake it if the ingredient text is too small or cut off.
- Read the matched ingredient, confidence and severity together; open the evidence before deciding what to order.
- For a severe profile, add the EpiPen location, emergency contact, hospital and local emergency number so the SOS screen is useful under pressure.
What to check before you trust the result
A camera result is a decision aid, not a medical clearance. Whole ingredients are easier to read than trace contamination, shared equipment, or an ambiguous handwritten menu. If the image is unclear or the consequence of a mistake is severe, ask the restaurant or a clinician and follow the person’s existing medical plan.
Who this workflow is for
This workflow is for someone who wants a repeatable check before eating, especially a family that needs separate profiles. It is not a replacement for reading the package, asking the restaurant, or carrying the emergency treatment already prescribed.
