Our Origins: From Hardware to Health Intelligence

A journey of deep R&D, lived experience, and a bold vision for allergy care

From Invention to Impact

Founded in 2016, Alerje began with a mission to modernize emergency allergy care. That vision led to the creation of Omniject™, a smartphone connected epinephrine auto-injector supported by 13 issued patents and industry wide recognition. By 2025, we transitioned the device to a strategic partner, closing a defining chapter in our company's early journey.

Along the way, we built more than IP. We built conviction, shaped by allergy families, clinical experts, and years of deep technical development. And what we learned was clear: emergency care was only the beginning.

Evolving the Future of OIT

In listening to families undergoing oral immunotherapy (OIT), we uncovered one of the allergy community's most persistent gaps: the lack of smart tools to support everyday treatment.

That insight inspired FAIT, our intelligent software platform built to simplify OIT for both families and clinics. Grounded in behavioral science and supported by real world research, FAIT helps remove friction, increase clarity, and bring structure to a treatment journey that too often feels like guesswork.

Backed by leading advisors and a growing body of IP, we're now moving forward with renewed focus to deliver clarity, connection, and confidence to the food allergy ecosystem.
