Storyboard Text
- I should call a teacher, but I'm worried that the other students will tease me
- Timothy is 11 years old and is allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. He has just finished lunch and is on break outside at school.
- Hey, Timothy. Can we speak to you for a moment?
- Timothy's mouth starts to tingle and he is feeling sick in his stomach. He thinks he is having an allergic reaction. He knows he should tell a teacher but he does not want to cause a scene in front of the other students.
- What symptoms does Timothy have?
- Swollen tongue
- Wheezing
- Hoarse voice
- Vomiting
- Timothy decides to click his Astivo button that he has kept inside of his pocket to alert staff. Nearby staff members along with the school nurse and Timothy's parents are sent the alert.
- Two of the teachers supervising the break, Ana and Sam, come over to Timothy to assess his symptoms.
- Ana checks the Astivo app on. She is prompted with questions to determine how to treat Timothy based on the details in his AAP. The symptoms indicative of anaphylaxis for Timothy are shown first. She selects the symptoms Timothy is experiencing.
- NEXT
- Lightheadedness
- Based on the symptoms selected, it is clear that Timothy is experiencing anaphylaxis. On the Astivo app, she sees that Timothy carries a Jext pen. Ana t follows the instructions for the Jext pen shown on the app. Meanwhile, Sam calls 999.
- A second alert is sent to Timothy's parents to tell them that his AAI has been administered. Staff are taken through further instructions step by step, in order of medical priority.
- Timothy's AAI was administered
- The school nurse has just arrived and has brought Timothy's spare auto-injector and his antihistamine. The teachers and school nurse can tell that Timothy's symptoms are getting better. They wait for the ambulance to arrive.
- 5 minutes have passed since Ana administered the AAI to Timothy. The Astivo app prompts her to check if Timothy's symptoms have gotten worse and to administer a second AAI if so. Luckily, Timothy is feeling much better
