Sažetak
Pollen allergy reduces the quality of life and is a major public health problem. This problem is also recognized in Croatia and therefore it is of great importance to inform citizens about the daily load of allergens. Croatia has 20 monitoring stations scattered throughout the country covering both the continental and Mediterranean parts of the country. Since the flora is specific for each part, this information is useful to local citizens as well as tourists. Among these 20 cities, 7 of them have continuous everyday monitoring (using daily sampling head) and presenting this kind of information on daily pollen load is well accepted in public. Therefore, we launched an Android and iPhone application so that our citizens can have accurate and timely information on pollen concentrations even on the move. This application shows information on daily pollen concentrations in the form of colour and number scales. It also shows pollen forecasts for the next two days followed by weather forecast data, a description of each allergenic plant and cross-reaction of pollen and food of plant origin. It is a great tool for providing useful bioprognostic data that allow allergic persons to plan daily activities and appropriate preventive procedures.
