Nima Allergy Sensor

Nima is a company in the TechCrunch Battlefield with a sensor that could change food allergies forever (via TechCrunch). Their allergy sensor has the ability to detect peanuts in food. To use it, you just take a small sample of the food in a disposable vial, and the sensor will report with 97.6 percent accuracy if the sample contains any trace of peanuts. It can take up to five minutes to detect any traces. It also can connect to your smartphone to keep track of your testing history and can display a map of places where the food has been tested. It's truly awesome to see this, especially considering how many people are allergic to peanuts and how that can affect their daily lives.
