Your family's allergies, written down where a doctor will see them

Short answer: note each person's allergies in their own profile in a health record app (what they react to, how strongly, since when) and put them on an emergency card. In Anpheros Daily allergies go to the top of the record a doctor sees, to the emergency card and to the International Patient Summary, so the information is there even when you are not.

Allergies are the one piece of medical information that has to reach a doctor before anything else, and the one people are most likely to forget to mention in a hurry: a penicillin reaction years ago, a child's nut allergy, a grandparent's latex sensitivity. Writing them down once, per person, means they are always on the first page.

What to note for each allergy

• What: the medicine, the food, the substance (penicillin, peanuts, bee stings, latex).
• The reaction: rash, swelling, breathing difficulty, as it happened.
• How serious: mild, moderate, severe.
• Since when, and the doctor's letter or test result if there is one.

Where it shows up

• In the person's record, at the top, next to conditions and medications.
• On the emergency card, with blood group, medications and emergency contacts. See the emergency card page.
• In the health summary a doctor or hospital receives when you share, including the International Patient Summary.

How it works in Anpheros Daily

Profiles for family members are part of the Plus plan; your own record is free on Basic.

1. Open the family member's profile.
2. Add each allergy with the reaction and how serious it was.
3. Check that the emergency card shows it.
4. Share the record or the summary with a new doctor when you see them.

See the family health record page for how profiles work.

What the app does not do

Anpheros records allergies; it does not test for them, diagnose them or recommend treatment. If you suspect an allergy, see a doctor. In a severe reaction, call 112 or your local emergency number at once.

Frequently asked questions

Can emergency services see my child's allergies?

The emergency card shows allergies, medications, conditions and contacts, and it can be shown from the phone or printed. In a real emergency, always tell the team yourself as well.

Should I note mild reactions too?

Note what you know and how serious it was; the doctor decides what matters. A mild reaction to a medicine is still useful for a doctor to know.

Can I add allergies for everyone in the family?

Yes. Each family member has their own profile with their own allergies, conditions and medications.

Does the doctor see the allergies when I share the record?

Yes. Allergies are at the top of the summary a doctor receives, and in the International Patient Summary.
