Early Onset

Triggers and Control Food Irritants: Natural, chemical, scratch/rub,
sweating Allergens: Indoors and outdoors Microbes: Virus, bacteria, fungi Temperature and humidity Stress and other activities
Which one is really the cause?

Skin Treatment and Care Moisturizer: Find one which is
Effective Does not clog pores Does not cause allergy
Steroid: Ensure that Choose correct potency Control total amount Stop using within one week Rash should not come back immediately
Bath
Complicated!!

Long-term health consequences
Base on scientific evidencepublished in the Pediatric Allergy Immunology Journal in Jun 2011

Targeted Problems Finding the trigger is difficult and time consuming
Doctors rely on history inquiry and may not see symptoms Patients/carers rely on memory to describe symptoms Allergy tests can be risky; may not be accurate; and do not cover all allergens
Effective medication and “action plan” Patient can present varied degrees of symptoms with different triggers Patient can have varied responses to different medications of the same objective Patient self-carries medications and uses based on presented symptoms
Track and improve life quality of patients Avoid triggers Early medication Prevent ER visits Consequences when allergy is not properly managed

First Stage: Eczema (Skin Allergy) 10%~ 20% of children with skin allergy
60% of skin allergy on-set happen before age of 1 and need proper management before 2
Challenges Babies have limited ways of expression; Diagnosis relies on carer’s
descriptions Skin allergy symptoms have several stages may develop across weeks;
Late-stage symptoms seem impossible to be traced back to triggers Skin care can be source of allergy

Eczema Cycle
![Page 13: App Proposal: Baby Allergy Journal](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051101/588a33861a28abc6168b51f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Second Stage: Food Allergy 1/13 children in US and 1/10 children in Australia have food allergy
Symptoms range from mild symptoms to severe anaphylaxis (systematic multi-organism symptoms)
Doctors find triggers via inquiries and allergy tests Patients are suggested to keep a food journal to deduce triggers Emergency room, family physician and allergy clinic do not share clinical records of allergy
episodes
Patients are recommended to carry medication and follow action plan
Challenges Conducting tests may be too risky; For examples, food challenges or skin scratch test can
trigger anaphylaxis Physician-patient communication barrier and inaccurate patient memory Effective and detail anaphylaxis action plan

Third Stage: Allergic Rhinitis (Nasal Allergy) Doctors need frequency, time and place of
flare-up to diagnose triggers
![Page 15: App Proposal: Baby Allergy Journal](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051101/588a33861a28abc6168b51f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fourth Stage: Asthma A quantitative way to track asthma conditions
Patients are recommended to document peak expiratory flow (PEF) every day
Early actions can be taken based on PEF
Doctors need frequency of flare-up during day and night in order to prescribe medicine
Challenges PEF meter is for age 5 and up When PEF meter is not available, mild symptoms are often neglected by
carers, teachers; therefore, it might be difficult to trace back to triggers

We need…An interactive app that help parents, care-takers, baby-sitters, and doctors to document, track, analyze and discuss allergy
Symptoms Treatment & care Food Medication Irritants and Allergens Control Effort
