Health & Wise develops digital solutions for the 88 million food and contact allergy sufferers in the EU. With the CheckWise App, they know within seconds whether a product is safe for them.
We develop smartphone apps and big-data applications that help improve medical care and preventive health. By applying modern information and communication technologies, we help people become — and stay — healthy.
Although the 14 most common food allergens must be declared on packaging across Europe, the different naming conventions cause daily confusion — and in the worst case, serious reactions. CheckWise creates clarity.
Searching is just as tedious for contact allergy sufferers: INCIs on cosmetics are often printed too small, written in Latin terminology, or barely findable in the dense pattern of an ingredient list. CheckWise reliably recognizes your own allergen — no matter how hidden it is.
The CheckWise App is aimed at people with food and contact allergies, as well as their families. As an intelligent shopping assistant, it creates transparency right in the supermarket or when scanning an online listing.
Scans the actual ingredient text on the packaging — not just the barcode. Reliable results even for private-label and imported products.
Simply hold the camera over the ingredient list — CheckWise recognizes allergens, additives (E-numbers), fragrances, ingredients, and 70 types of sugar in real time.
Individual allergy profiles for every family member — the app instantly shows whether a product is suitable for each profile.
Your data stays private. Only anonymized data is collected — you decide what gets shared.
The app instantly translates foreign-language packaging text into your language — shop safely abroad, too.

Through our API, B2B partners integrate CheckWise directly into their systems. The allergy profile of individual users or entire families is stored securely on the loyalty card. At checkout, it immediately shows whether a product is suitable for all stored profiles.
Coming soon In pharmacies, the stored profile surfaces medication intolerances — the pharmacist can immediately recommend a suitable alternative.
Our recognition technology integrates seamlessly into existing apps and platforms — as an API or as a complete white-label solution.
The recognition technology can be integrated into existing apps and browser extensions. With the user's own profile, retailers, food delivery services, hotels, and airlines show only what's suitable for them.
