How do I select my emergency number?
Different countries use different emergency numbers. The U.S., for example, uses 911 while Taiwan uses 119. We'll be adding additional emergency numbers to the EpiCenter App. Right now, we have the U.S. and Canada set. For more information on which number to call during an emergency, we recommend referencing this travel.state.gov resource.
Which language should I show during an emergency?
The best language, of course, to use depends on whom you're speaking with. This link has one resource you can use for research. We also suggest you consult a travel guide or other local for area-specific advice.
What is the EpiCenter Case?
The EpiCenter Case is upcoming hardware that attaches to your EpiPen or Auvi-Q (don't worry - more versions are in the works!). It syncs with our app to let you and your contacts know if you accidentally forget your medication. It sends a notification with the last known location.
What is the Teal Personal Allergy Assistant?
The Teal Personal Allergy Assistant is an online service we designed along side The Coza Group to serve as your food diary, ladder challenge assistant, recipe book, and more. One of the most commonly requested add-ons to the EpiCenter App was the ability to track multiple profiles at once & record information throughout their food allergy journeys - and that's exactly why we integrated this service into the EpiCenter's core functionality. You can access the Teal Personal Allergy Assistant from your desktop or mobile browser here, or look for it in the EpiCenter App (December 2020 or later).
