Pollennieuws

Pollen News is an application that keeps you updated on a daily basis on current information about pollen and hay fever.

Pollennieuws wants to enable people to learn to recognize pollen plants that cause hay fever problems and to avoid them when they flower. Ideal for a quick look before you exercise, relax or walk in the open air. It also offers you the option to adjust your hay fever medication to the current situation. The application consists of a number of elements:

• Pollen card. Independent biologists provide a pollen map of the Netherlands daily with the expectation of pollen in the air in dry weather. The pollen information on the pollen card is updated daily by Pollennieuws around 7 a.m. and more frequently if necessary.

• Complaints module. Via a slider you can indicate on a scale from 1 to 10 how much you are currently suffering from hay fever complaints and what the symptoms are. You will immediately receive a feedback of the current national image via a bar graph. These reports are used by Pollennieuws to improve expectations and expectation models.

• Pollen journal. Biologist Maurice Martens of Flora van Nederland regularly writes a short text message with a summary of the most current developments.

• Flowering trends. The flowering trend is indicated for the groups of trees, grasses and herbs.

• 5-day forecast of the hay fever load.

• Flowering calendar. In this calendar the flowering period of the most important trees, shrubs, grasses and herbs is shown at species level. More detailed information about the different types can be found on the website www.pollennieuws.nl in the form of video clips.

• Poll counts. A graph shows the most recent pollen counts. These counts come from the pollen counter of the Elkerliek Hospital in Helmond.

• Twitter feed. Overview of the most recent Poll News Tweets on Twitter.

This app requires a properly working internet connection. If this is not the case, the app will not come into its own optimally.

The logbook function of the previous Pollennieuws app has been canceled in this version. For registering complaints, we collaborate with the specialized, free, MedApp.
