SDI launches iPhone, iPod application for allergy sufferers

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. SDI on Wednesday launched Pollen.com Allergy Alert, an application for iPhone and iPod Touch devices that provides one-day alerts and four-day forecasts for four conditions — allergy (pollen), asthma, cold-cough and ultraviolet sensitivity — through its popular allergy site.

“The iPhone application provides users with greater access to information that they’ve come to rely on from Pollen.com,” stated Glenn Connery, associate director of the application development/Web group for SDI, the company behind Pollen.com. “Having this instant, portable access for their conditions helps users plan their day or week ahead.”

In addition to the one-day alerts and four-day forecasts by zip code, the features of the Pollen.com Allergy Alert iPhone application include:

• Indexes indicating severity for each condition ranging from 0.0 to 12.0;
• Easy-to-read user interface with color-coding for easy focus; and
• Access to the Allergy Alert application support page on Pollen.com

The application is available for free at the iPhone App Store, SDI stated.
