AllergyPass

Register your allergies and intolerances in your digital AllergyPass

With this new electronic «AllergyPass», sufferers have available in digital form all information concerning their allergies and intolerances on their Smartphone: they can create a personal profile, acquire their data, enter what allergies and intolerances they have, what their symptoms are, what medication – also in emergencies – they must take, who should be contacted and where the emergency medication is kept. This information can be updated and completed at any time.

In addition to the patient data, the electronic AllergyPass provides “good to know” facts and specialist information on allergies and intolerances. Pollen information, pollen and weather forecasts are available as well as current air pollution and pollutant levels. There is also an integrated emergency plan in case of anaphylaxis or allergic shock which can be life-threatening. aha! Swiss Allergy Centre is constantly supplementing and updating this information.

The «AllergyPass» app is issued by aha! Swiss Allergy Centre and the Swiss Society for Allergology and Immunology (SSAI) and has been developed in cooperation with the vivates e-health platform of Swiss Post.
