Solution
Trallergy
Your personal allergy tracker.
Our solution is making a website that shows where it is safe to eat based on your allergies. You enter your allergy and all the restaurants that are perfectly safe for you will pop up. Our community of focus is people in LA with allergies. One existing solution that I researched is a man who keeps an EpiPen in his restaurant. Although this could be life saving, different people could have different EpiPens. Another risk is if the EpiPen is expired. A lot of restaurants expect you to tell them if you have an allergy. Our goal is for people with allergies to not have to worry about asking and have a normal dining experience. Another existing solution is to list ingredients on the menu. Most restaurants are either too lazy to list ingredients or they dont want to "ruin" the design of their menu. The major steps in our timeline is as follows:
Week of February 24-March 1
1) Get menus from a lot of restaurants
Week of March 2-March 8
1) Interview people with allergies
2) Start building website
Week of March 9-March 15
1) Input restaurants and menus into the website
2) Test website
Week of March 16-March 21
1) Send out survey to see the impact of our solution
