Allergy Health App
Challenge
Client Need:
The client is a German healthcare startup that wanted to launch a mobile app for people with food intolerances. It needed a fast turnaround to capitalize on market demand, because users had no reliable, user-friendly app built specifically for this niche.
Their goals:
- Launch a working iOS and Android app within four months
- Build a scalable food database with comprehensive ingredient information
- Use a privacy-first architecture that stores no personal data on servers
- Support subscriptions without collecting emails, phone numbers or logins

Solution
How It Works:
- A user creates a profile with their specific intolerances, allergens and dietary preferences.
- The user scans or searches for a food product, and the app cross-references its ingredients with the profile and flags problem items.
- The user can follow a meal plan, track symptoms and adjust the profile as needs change.
- Account features run on a locally generated ID stored only on the device, so no personal data ever reaches a server.
Key Features:
- Food Classification: Scan or search products to instantly see whether they contain ingredients the user is intolerant to
- Custom Intolerance Profiles: Detailed, editable profiles covering intolerances, allergens and dietary preferences
- Scalable Food Database: Calories and ingredient data in a structure that is easy to access and change
- Privacy-First Accounts: Locally generated device ID instead of emails, phone numbers or logins
- Demo Version: Users can try the app before buying
- Native iOS and Android: Built natively for speed and reliability
