I got something in my inbox today from Reactine which is an over the counter allergy drug, announcing their new iPhone app:
As many as nine million allergy sufferers across Canada now have a new tool to tackle hay fever season. Launched today, the REACTINE® Allergy Forecast for iPhone®, is the first and only iPhone app in Canada that provides three-day allergy and weather forecasts. Now sufferers can take control of their allergies by planning ahead, knowing when allergy symptoms are likely to be at their worst.
Being an Allergy sufferer myself, I could use this app. Too bad I’m a Blackberry user. Perhaps they’ll come out with a version for Blackberry (and Android too).
I digress.
Here’s the rationale behind this app:
“We keep hearing patients complain of worsening allergy symptoms that are lasting for a longer period of time,” says Dr. Susan Waserman, Professor of Medicine, Division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, McMaster University. “What many people don’t realize is how factors such as changing weather patterns can have an impact on how people are experiencing their symptoms.”
And:
“We know that one of the best defenses against allergy symptoms is regularly taking allergy medication,” says Dr. Waserman. “The REACTINE® Allergy Forecast is a great tool that provides an early-warning system for sufferers so they can act proactively, rather than waiting until the symptoms are already in full effect.”
The app is free and available for download today. If you’re an allergy sufferer, you should check it out.
