The Beginning…

Ready. Set. Go.

With my co-founder James Cohen by my side, fuelled by the many conversations we've had with inspiring figures in the allergy space including Shelley Dua, Hazel Gowland, Emma Manuel, Adam Fox, Sarah Lacquiere and Sean Connor, we've been taking ana. Allergy Care to the next level.

Firstly, with the help of the talented team at Duku Design, we have now produced the first prototypes for 'ana. Educate' - our anaphylaxis prevention and treatment system for schools.

Meanwhile, we've been building out the secure back-end platform which will give staff access to simple and reliable medication management as well as a few other features to replace those dusty old spreadsheets.

We're also incredibly proud to announce that we have partnered with the brilliant people at ALK for the pilot scheme.

Approximately 1 in 15 children are allergic to at least some kind of food, and that number is constantly rising. It's not enough to be reactive - Allergy policy must evolve to become preventative.

That's why all this culminates with the announcement our pilot phase, which starting September, will see the rollout of the full ana. educate product and system into select schools, free of charge.

We're looking for schools who, like us, are looking to do more. Who are looking to revolutionise the allergy industry. In the words of Eric Ries, “We must learn what customers really want, not what they think they should want” ('The Lean Startup').
