Pollen Meter
Get detailed location-based pollen information covering pollen types such as tree, grass or weed, and allergen breakdown. NowPatient provides personalised risk notifications based on pollen counts in your area and underlying health conditions such as hay fever, asthma or COPD.
How it works
When you log into your NowPatient account for the first time, you will be prompted to turn on ‘Location Services’ on your device
Go to your account dashboard and look for the Pollen Meter that sits in ‘My Personalized Health Tools’ section
The Pollen Meter will show the values of the three main pollen types for the day
If a particular pollen type is high or breaches acceptable thresholds, then you will see a red warning box
Click on the red warning box, to see the precautionary advice
If there is a risk to your health, then you will also receive a notification in your ‘My Notifications’ that will outline the risk posed by the pollen type and what precautions you should take
