Allergy app: 3 apps in comparison

Whether hay fever, lactose intolerance or wasp allergy: allergy sufferers do not have it easy. Fortunately, there are allergy apps that can make life a little easier. We took a closer look at three of these apps and present the comparison.

Allergy app for pollen plagues

An allergy app that can especially help people suffering from hay fever is the pollen count prediction from Hexal.

• The app is available for Android and iPhone.
• In the app you can find out which pollen is currently particularly well represented and which areas you should watch out for.
• You can also see in the app whether the next few days will bring relief or whether the pollen count will tend to get stronger.

The AOK app helps with gluten intolerance

Those who suffer from gluten intolerance know how difficult it is to find suitable recipes.

• The AOK helps people who suffer from gluten intolerance with its free app "AOK gluten-free recipes", which is available for Android and iOS.
• In total there are now over 100 recipes that you can simply cook.
• Buyers of the app are divided. Some are enthusiastic about the result of the meals, others have had bad taste experiences.

For asthmatics: app with diary

The asthma tracker helps people suffering from allergic or non-allergic asthma in several ways.

• An integrated diary makes it possible to record symptoms or days on which the disease is particularly present and to gain better control over the asthma.
• The app can also remind you to take your medication regularly.
• If you couple the asthma tracker with Apple Health, it is also possible to automatically include health data such as the number of daily steps in the app. So you always have all the data in view and can access it when you visit a doctor.

Nut allergy is also widespread. We have summarized the causes and symptoms of this allergy for you in the next article.
