Startup of the Week - Allergy Lifestyle

The lowdown on Irish startup Alergy Lifestyle, that's aiming to make living with allergies a little easier...

If you have an allergy, whether it’s to dust or a particular food, you’ll know only too well that it can be challenging and often dangerous. After all, allergies aren’t simply inconvenient, they can be life threatening too.

Learning about triggers and more importantly managing the symptoms is vital.

Our latest startup of the week have recognised this very fact and are on a mission to help.

Allergy Lifestyle is a platform which provides advocacy, products and information for anyone managing allergies, asthma or anaphylaxis.

Their basic aim? To make life a little easier.

The Allergy Lifestyle team have sourced a range of products from all across the world which can help with the management of symptoms as well as general day to day living.

There are all sorts of products on sale available via the platform - from medical wristbands through to allergy friendly makeup. They have also created their own range of products including innovative storage cases to help protect medication.

However, it’s not just a platform showcasing and selling useful products. It also provides heaps of useful information, guidance and tips on how to cope with particular allergies and manage the symptoms. The Allergy Lifestyle team also have created a range of accredited courses including Emergency Medicine Training and Cardiac First Response Training.

In a sense, Allergy Lifestyle is a pretty definitive resource - a one stop shop.

It doesn’t stop there though.

Having just been accepted onto Google’s latest Adopt a Startup programme, we reckon that this is most certainly a startup to watch - and not just by those of us who are dealing with allergies of some sort.
