EPI-TRAK uses GPS technology to trigger an alert on your smart phone when you have exited your set location. An alarm is activated and screen appears with “Remember your epinephrine”.
EPI-TRAK can be used with any epinephrine auto-injector and requires no additional hardware. An alarm will sound when phone is in use through bluetooth or any “hands free” method.
Multiple locations can be set for example:
- Home location
- Grandparents’ house and
- The hotel while traveling
Anaphylaxis very likely occurs in nearly 1-in-50 Americans “...despite the common occurrence of anaphylaxis, most people are not prepared to do the right thing when emergency reactions occur,” says Mike Tringale, Senior Vice President at AAFA
Most of us rarely leave home without our cell phones but chances are if you or your loved one has an anaphylactic allergy, you might have left home without your epinephrine device.
Created by a food allergy dad whose son is anaphylactic to peanuts, “As my son is entering adolescence and becoming more independent, EPI-TRAK has helped him remember to always bring his epinephrine device with him”.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
