Good news article #2! Save lives with an app

in #thegoodnews6 years ago

Israeli researchers and Magen David Adom created a community of allergy sufferers who can help each other out in a pinch, using proximity-based algorithms. This app helps anyone having an allergic reaction as fast as possible. The app is the first patient-centric social network of its kind for the delivery of emergency medication, Bar-Ilan University said in a statement on Monday. Millions of people suffer from this and it can be helped with strangers having an EpiPen. Many people don't carry or forget to carry a pen.

The app is called EPIMADA, if you have an EpiPen I suggest you download this app as this can save lives. “The potential of leveraging patients carrying the same medication to respond in emergencies is enormous,” said Schwartz. “With hundreds of allergy sufferers signed on and more to follow, we hope that this initiative helps save crucial minutes to first epinephrine use.”

Create a better community and help others!
