Hunter's comment
Over 15 million Americans are at risk of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction triggered by exposure to certain foods, materials, medications, and insect bites. Every three minutes, a food reaction sends someone to the emergency room.

Many of us are unaware of anaphylactic shock and acute allergic attack. Prevention is difficult and deaths still occur due to the allergic reaction.
The project is named after the victim 16-year-old Abbie Benford.
This wearable automatically monitors anaphylaxis signals in allergic patients and if found it will warn the patient, inform the caregiver's mobile and it automatically injects the medicine which saves the allergic reactive patient.
Those who are allergic can have this wearable to be safe from anaphylaxis shock and attack.
The Wyss Institute and Abbie Benford's parents who supports the research (https://keepsmilin4abbie.org/) made this possible.
