Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle allergies by allergen, symptoms, emergency response, labelling and services, routing anaphylaxis to emergency help first and giving no diagnosis.

An immune system reaction to a normally harmless substance (allergen), such as pollen, foods, insect stings, medicines, mould or animal dander, ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening anaphylaxis.

What it is for: A health condition affecting daily life, food and environment choices.

It can be recognise anaphylaxis and call emergency services; read allergen labelling; find allergy testing services; follow pollen and food allergy guidance.

Distinguishing features

Immune-mediated

Triggered by specific allergens

Can be life-threatening

Diagnosed by clinicians

What it looks like

Symptoms such as sneezing, rash, swelling, wheezing or, in anaphylaxis, breathing difficulty and collapse.

How it is recognised

Allergen labels on food

Pollen forecasts

Intolerances are not immune-mediated allergies
