Medical365 allergy tracking software documents skin prick tests, patch test reaction grades (+ to +++), drug allergies & ABDM health alerts for dermatology clinics.
Allergy tracking software is a specialized clinical allergy and contact dermatitis documentation module. It manages Skin Prick Testing (SPT) for aeroallergens and food allergies, standardizes European and Indian Standard Series Patch Testing (+ to +++ reaction grading at 48h and 72h), triggers instant system-wide drug allergy alerts, and generates personalized allergen avoidance guides.
Addressing high-volume OPD congestion, diagnostic fragmentation, and statutory healthcare regulations.
Allergic contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, chronic urticaria, and drug hypersensitivity reactions represent a massive clinical burden in Indian dermatology. Thousands of patients suffer from chronic, unexplained dermatitis triggered by occupational allergens, hair dyes (PPD), cosmetics, fragrance mixes, topical medicaments, or leather tanning chemicals (potassium dichromate).
Identifying culprit contact allergens requires structured diagnostic testing: applying standardized patch test panels to the patient's upper back, leaving them under occlusion for 48 hours, and performing serial readings at 48 hours, 72 hours, and sometimes 7 days. In conventional paper records, documenting dozens of individual allergen test spots is cumbersome and chaotic. Crucially, when severe adverse drug reactions (e.g. Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, DRESS, or severe penicillin anaphylaxis) are documented on loose paper files, the warning is invisible when the patient visits other hospital departments, creating life-threatening risks.
Medical365's Allergy Tracking module standardizes diagnostic patch testing and enforces system-wide allergy vigilance. Equipped with pre-configured Indian Standard Patch Test series grids, automated ICD-10 cross-reactivity alerts, and prominent banner warnings across all hospital screens, Medical365 ensures uncompromised patient safety.
Engineered with medical sub-specialists to eliminate manual charting friction and enforce clinical protocol rigor.
Pre-configured digital testing templates for the Indian Standard Series patch test (30 common allergens including Nickel, Fragrance mix, PPD, Neomycin, Colophony, Epoxy resin, and Parthenium).
Structures reaction scoring at 48h and 72h based on International Contact Dermatitis Research Group criteria: ? (doubtful), + (weak erythema/papules), ++ (strong vesicles), +++ (extreme bullous), and IR (irritant).
Records millimeter wheal and flare diameters compared against positive (Histamine) and negative (Saline) controls for food allergens, dust mites, pollens, and fungal molds.
Documents confirmed drug allergies (Penicillins, Cephalosporins, NSAIDs, Sulfonamides); displays an unmissable red banner across all hospital OPD, IPD, and pharmacy screens.
Selecting a positive allergen (e.g. Paraphenylenediamine PPD) auto-generates comprehensive consumer product avoidance lists (hair dyes, temporary tattoos) sent via WhatsApp.
Issues a verified digital allergy card accessible on the patient's mobile device detailing confirmed allergies, reaction severity, and emergency antihistamine/epinephrine guidance.
High-resolution data flow architecture connecting point-of-care capture, diagnostic instruments, and national health registries.
A transparent 5-stage digital pathway standardizing patient care from initial requisition to longitudinal review.
Dermatologist reviews exposure history; technician applies allergen chambers to upper back with anatomical tape mapping.
Tape removed at 48 hours; clinician grades erythema, papules, and vesicles (+ to +++) on the digital grid.
Second reading differentiates true allergic crescendo responses from decrescendo irritant reactions.
Software cross-references positive allergens, flagging hidden chemical names in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Confirmed allergens permanently bind to patient EMR banner and dispatch to patient's Ayushman Bharat Health Account.
Medical365 Allergy Tracking conforms to International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) criteria, Contact and Occupational Dermatoses Forum of India (CODFI) guidelines, and MoHFW EHR standards.
All allergy records, reaction logs, and patient safety alerts are encrypted under AES-256 compliant with the DPDP Act 2023. Confirmed allergies integrate with national ABDM health lockers.

Medical365 includes the official Contact and Occupational Dermatoses Forum of India (CODFI) Indian Standard Series (30 allergens), the European Baseline Series, and specialized series for Cosmetics, Dental Materials, and Footwear allergens.
If a physician attempts to prescribe a medication to which the patient has a documented allergy (or an agent with known cross-reactivity, such as Amoxicillin in a Penicillin-allergic patient), the software displays a hard clinical alert blocking prescription completion.
Yes. Clinicians record millimeter wheal and flare diameters for each allergen alongside histamine and saline controls, automatically calculating the allergen-to-histamine ratio.
When an allergen like Nickel or Fragrance Mix is confirmed positive, the software generates an illustrated patient guide listing everyday items containing the allergen and safe alternative products.
Yes. Patients and emergency physicians can view the official Digital Allergy Card on the Medical365 patient app, displaying confirmed allergens and recommended emergency care.
Yes. Dermatologists can photograph positive ++ or +++ reactions at 48h and 72h; photos link directly to the corresponding chemical name on the digital patch test scorecard.
