What is a snapshot? How do I read my snapshot?

Using AI and machine learning, we analyze over a trillion data points to group or endotype a patient's case (you / your child's) and determine the severity and relationship of allergic proteins that affect the patient.

The snapshot is an individualized summary of this analysis and is the foundation for the patient's treatment plan.

The snapshot categorizes allergen sensitivity by Anaphylactic, Sensitized, and Tolerant. The goal of TIP treatment is to move all foods to the Tolerant column. See an example of a snapshot below. 

Snapshot 2b

Anaphylactic

If the patient eats a very small amount of food in the anaphylactic column, they have a 95% chance of suffering an anaphylactic grade 2 reaction. An anaphylactic reaction involves two body systems (i.e., hives and difficulty breathing, hives and vomiting, etc.).

Sensitized

Foods in the sensitized column will produce allergic pathways and proteins in the patient's blood if they eat a large amount of that food. Patients can likely consume foods on the right side of the sensitized column with no clinical reaction. However, foods on the left side of the column are more likely to cause a grade 1 reaction or a reaction involving one body system (i.e., hives, rash, stomach pain, nausea, etc.). 

Tolerant

If food falls into the tolerant column, it means that large, infrequent ingestion of that food will not elicit an allergic reaction from the patient's immune system. The goal of treatment is to move all foods to this column.

Why are some foods in both columns?

Columns are represented as a percentage. Based on the patient's analysis, some foods may not fall into one group. For example, if “seeds” is 20% sensitized, the bar will be 20% in the sensitized column and 80% in the tolerance column.
