How to keep track of your epinephrine injectorsHopefully, you don’t need regular access to epinephrine injectors, or know anyone who does, but if you do, you might want to look into getting a Veta Smart Case for EpiPen and App, which just came out. The smartcase can help travelers and others keep track of their life-saving medication by providing real-time alerts and notifications including: separation alerts, auto-injector removal alerts, and temperature and expiry alerts. The app communicates with the case via Bluetooth, so a Wi-Fi connection isn’t even required.

It’s not cheap, with a pack of two running $119 on Aterica.com and $129 on Amazon.com (with free shipping for Prime members), but the cost might be a small price to pay given what the case can do: keep epinephrine injectors on a digital leash, and therefore relieve stress levels in anyone that has to travel with allergies.

If you do suffer from allergies, below are some tips from Aterica:

  • Carry documentation: always have a list of what you’re allergic to and your medical information on your smartphone in case of emergency.
  • Pack lots of “safe” snacks: you never know when travel delays might pop and leave you without options.
  • Locate the closest medical facility near your destination that can treat allergic reactions if necessary.
  • Download apps, like Allergy Eats, to help find restaurants that accommodate whatever allergies you might have.
