AlleRing: A Telehealth Solution

AlleRing: A Telehealth Solution

AlleRing: A Telehealth Solution

How might we reduce allergy anxiety?


AlleRing is an innovative wearable solution designed to empower individuals with allergies through real-time monitoring of histamine levels, environmental allergens, and physiological biomarkers. Utilizing advanced FTIR spectroscopy and biosensors, this ring helps users proactively manage symptoms and mitigate risks, seamlessly integrating into their daily lives.

Allergies affect 20% of the UK population, leading to increased anxiety, stress, and significant healthcare costs. Current management tools rely on reactive measures, offering limited solutions for real-time monitoring and proactive allergy management.

Discovery: Discovery commenced via extensive literature review, followed by demographic research and brainstorming techniques. Some of brainstorming techniches used included the use of mind maps, HMW questions, and excessive sketching and form study.


Definition: The definition phase followed by defining a user persona, user journey, form definition, and gap definition. A need was found for a wearable device to descretely warn users of reactions early, reducing anxiety.


Development: Morphological matrixes, further form and materials studies, and further ethical social considerations were used to define the final AlleRing form.


Delivery: Fusion360 was used to develop the 3D models, which were 3D printed and evaluted. After some iterations, a final discrete model was developed.
