Tech of the week
If you or someone in your family or friends circle suffers from serious food allergies – you know this shizz ain’t no joke. Especially considering how many children are affected and how unpredictable protecting them can become – this is something that understandably a lot of people are working towards eradicating.
Even if it’s not a serious allergy- lower allergic reactions are not pleasant, and we don’t have time for that!
The wonderful folks over at 6Sensorlabs are such wonderful people. They’ve come out with a portable sensor, called NIMA Sensor, that can detect toxins in dishes, warning those with allergies before it’s too late.
Shireen Taleghani Yates and Scott Sundvor both struggled with food allergies, so they’re building something to help the hordes of people suffering along with them. At the moment, the sensor exclusively detects gluten, but will soon be able to detect dairy, eggs, and peanuts as well.
To use, you simply add a food sample to the pocket-sized test pod and in two minutes the sensor will display if there is any trace of gluten in your dish. Viola!
