Singapore developing Asia's first allergic rhinitis database

Singapore is developing Asia's first allergic rhinitis database. The condition - commonly known as hay fever - is triggered by allergens such as dust, pollen and pet dander. Project ENTenna will be led by Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, with the support of several other hospitals and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research. Principal Investigator Adjunct Associate Professor Ng Chew Lip, Senior Consultant at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, and Ryan Lim, a student with allergic rhinitis, discuss the launch of Asia first allergic rhinitis database and how they will be collecting data for this research. They talk about the need for Asia-specific data on allergic rhinitis and how the database will help doctors tailor treatment or even predict allergic flare-ups more accurately in a patient.
