Phadia launches online resource for allergy sufferers

Phadia has introduced a new patient-focused online resource which provides allergy sufferers with information on their conditions.

The diagnostic research and development firm’s KnowYourIgE.com service is designed to allow sufferers to use results from its ImmunoCAP testing system in order to access information on their specific symptoms.

Among the issues highlighted by the website are the importance of allergy testing and trigger avoidance, while the resource is also designed to provide sufferers with advice on creating action plans to lessen their condition.

Kevin TenBrink, marketing director for Phadia, expressed hope that the launch of this service will allow it to raise awareness of the need to take proactive steps against allergies.

He added: “With this information, patients and physicians can also understand exactly when to start pre-treatment to mitigate the effects of their allergy season.”

The company launched a new version of ImmunoCAP earlier this year with the ImmunoCAP Rapid Reader II, which produces results in 20 minutes.
