Right after the application we had the chance to discuss with WeMake team about our project, and we have decided to pivot our idea to a more tangible solution, easier to prototype during the two weeks of residency.

1 - SEARCH, ORDER AND EAT YOUR SAFE FOOD

• Scenario: Some people with food allergy want to go out for dinner
• Problem: People with food allergy often feel uncomfortable when they have to explain their health state to the restaurant’s staff
• Solution: We design an application mobile and a website UX-UI, to allow people with food allergy to:
  • find a restaurant Where the security is guaranteed, through safe food and trained staff
  • choose a dish from menu
  • order/ booked online
  • choose the arrival time
  • find the food ready at the restaurant

2 - BE AN ALLERGO-RISTO

• Scenario: Restaurant join the system
• Problem: Staff must be trained and educated on the needs of people with food allergies and on the risks of non-compliance with food safety management rules
• Solution: We will create:
  • a guidelines for writing the menu including the allergens’ list
  • login credentials to dedicated account for uploading menu on website
  • The visual material helps the staff to detect the allergy person in a clear and discreet manner
  • Instruction
  • Food safety guide – rules to manage in a correct way clients with food allergy
• Annotation No profit association Food Allergy Italia, Padova, since may 2002 protect food allergy people’s health. F.A.I. underline how problematic is eating in a restaurant for people with food allergy, offering the chef card as solution. link

Surveys conducted by Food Allergy Italia and Cork SAFEFOOD Ireland about effects of Regulation (UE) n. 1169/2011, to clarify if the law has brought benefits to people with food allergy and their family members, especially about the restaurants’ ability to serve safe food. link

3 - TAKE CARE OF ME!

• Scenario: A person with food allergy book a dinner at the Allergo-Risto with his friends
• Problem: Meal is served respecting the food safety rules; unfortunately his friends don’t know these rules, so the food is contaminated by allergens. The final result isn’t ailment for the allergic person.
• Solution: Using easy-understandable drawings, realized on different supports, to inform diners about behaviors that should contaminate food ( for example: using the same fork to taste allergic people’s food). The goal is to let friend and family members understand the problems of people with food allergy.
• Annotation Video made by EFSA, explaining in a scientific and easy to understand way what are food allergies: link
