What is AllergyDetective?
#

AllergyDetective is a mobile and desktop app that scans food labels using OCR to detect allergens. Point your camera at a food label, and AllergyDetective identifies ingredients that match your allergen profile, instantly.

The Problem
#

Reading food labels is tedious, error-prone, and high-stakes. Allergens hide behind unfamiliar names, and a missed ingredient can mean a trip to the hospital. Existing solutions are either too manual or too unreliable.

How It Works
#

  1. Set your allergen profile: tell AllergyDetective what you’re allergic to
  2. Scan a food label: point your camera at any food product label
  3. Get instant results: flagged allergens are highlighted immediately with clear warnings

Key Features
#

  • OCR-powered scanning: reads food labels through your device’s camera
  • Custom allergen profiles: configure for your specific allergies or your family’s
  • Cross-platform: works on mobile and desktop
  • Offline capable: no internet connection required for scanning
  • Fast and accurate: results in seconds, not minutes
