In FST’s initial product, we apply our patent-pending electronic diagnostic platform to the significant challenge and growing market of allergy assessment. Using a single drop of blood, multiple allergen anti-bodies are measured simultaneously with results in minutes. This point-of-care device is designed for automated operation in a physician’s or allergist’s office. No vials of blood drawn, no waiting for days or weeks for results. Discuss results with your physician/allergist on the spot! An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from all types of allergies (1 in 5 Americans) including indoor/outdoor, food & drug, latex, insect, skin and eye allergies. Allergy prevalence overall has been increasing since the early 1980s across all age, sex and racial groups. Approximately 6% of allergy sufferers have food/drug allergies as their primary allergy. Food allergy is more common among children than adults. 90% of all food allergy reactions are cause by 8 foods: milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.
