What is AllerGPS?
AllerGPS is a dynamic web application built for those who have allergies that
hinder them from eating certain foods.
It takes into account these allergies to chart a map of locations that the user can go to
and enjoy without
worrying about their allergies.
AllerGPS was made to be simple, elegant, and powerful.
Our Mission
AllerGPS is designed to help people who have food allergies feel safer when going out to eat.
The percentage of people with food allergies has been increasing every year. Researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans have food allergies, including 5.9 million children under age 18. In 2010 3.9% of children said that they suffered from food allergies. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention reports that the prevalence of food allergy in children increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011.
