# Portable Allergen Indicators Park Jung Eun's 'A-Check' Keeps You Safe from Food Allergies By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-check References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/a-check-testing-device-for-food-allergic-people/) Folks with allergic reactions to food may never have to fear their dinner again, thanks to Park Jung Eun's 'A-Check'. 'A-Check' is a conceptual [allergen detector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayass-bioscience) designed to detect food allergies. 'A-Check' works by having kits that detect for certain types of food. Simply load the kit you need into the 'A-Check' system and dip it into your dish; if the tip turns red then your food contains your allergen. While I don't have any food allergies, I am hoping that 'A-Check' goes from [concept to reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dengue-home-test-kit) sooner than later. Nobody should have to live in fear of food. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Food Allergen Detection:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing advanced food allergen detection systems. - **Portable Medical Devices:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating compact and user-friendly medical devices for personal use. - **Consumer Safety Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing consumer-focused safety technologies for everyday scenarios. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry by creating new solutions for managing and detecting food allergies. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage industry by implementing advanced allergen detection systems to ensure consumer safety. - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by developing portable and user-friendly devices that enhance consumer safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Allergy-Testing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-allergytesting-kit.md) - [Portable Gluten Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-gluten-sensor.md) - [Food Production Allergen Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hygenia.md) - [AI-Powered Allergy Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-scan-genius.md) - [Food Safety Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecotracker.md) - [Multi-Lingual Food Label Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-avoidance-scanner.md) - [Dynamic Food Safety Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-safety-detector.md) - [Dietary Food Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutrime.md) - [Vegan Food Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegcheck.md)
