It usually causes more than one of these following <strong>symptoms<\/strong>: an itchy rash, throat or tongue swelling, shortness of breath, vomiting, light-headedness, and low blood pressure. They typically come on over minutes to hours of exposure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is mostly t<strong>reated by an adrenaline injection<\/strong> which is carried in the form of an <strong>auto-injector<\/strong> by the allergic person. Although adrenaline can prevent an anaphylactic reaction from becoming an anaphylactic shock, <strong>death from anaphylaxis<\/strong> is still common due to the a<strong>drenaline not being injected early enough<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This <strong>non-invasive device<\/strong> can be worn on the arm and works by <strong>monitoring health and measuring bio-markers<\/strong> such as: temperature, skin response and cardiac rhythm. It <strong>measures histamine levels during an allergic reaction<\/strong>, and <strong>auto-injects epinephrine<\/strong> to stop the reaction if the sensors signify anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Often people with severe allergies fail to carry or use epinephrine at the time an allergic reaction happens. The wearable health monitor and epi-pen will <strong>prevent many premature deaths<\/strong> and would work with an <strong>app allowing the administration of epinephrine remotely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;margin-bottom:20px;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FIc6ux14kIQ?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;margin-bottom:20px;\"><\/div><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>References<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/snacksafely.com\/2018\/10\/project-abbie-promises-wearable-auto-injector-with-automatic-anaphylaxis-detection-and-activation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snack Safely<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Project Abbie Promises Wearable Auto-Injector with Automatic Anaphylaxis Detection and Activation <\/em>by Dave Bloom &#8211; 2018\/10\/23<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergylifestyle.com\/project-abbie-harvard-researchers-partner-allergy-foundation-develop-wearable-auto-injector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allergy Lifestyle<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Project Abbie \u2013 Harvard researchers partner with allergy foundation to develop wearable auto-injector<\/em> by Cathy Dolan &#8211; 2018\/01\/19<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":19015,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
