I am thrilled to share an exciting milestone in Auggie's journey with you. As many of you know, our community began as a modest WhatsApp group that quickly grew beyond our expectations. This rapid growth highlighted the need for a more robust platform to support our dynamic community of parents. I am proud to announce that the brand-new Auggie mobile app is LIVE! Recognizing the limitations of WhatsApp, we swiftly built an app tailored to our community’s needs. This decision was driven by our commitment to delivering a superior user experience and ensuring that our platform could scale alongside our growing community. We also launched tools that allow for parents within our community to organize and share recommendations with friends by creating guides on Auggie.com. Special shoutout to our amazing team - it's not easy to move as fast as we are. Adam Franchella, Marianne Chronister, Jesse Kaplan, Erin Lem, Emily Forrest Skurnik, Kristen Hutchinson, Rebecca Lockard, Sydney Foley and @lauramagnuson!

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with ObvioHealth to launch an innovative clinical study that will allow us to assess how early allergen introduction impacts infant food allergies and associated healthcare costs. The Early Allergen System Experience (EASE) trial will assess if using our early allergen introduction products can reduce two key barriers when it comes to introducing allergens to infants: 1) early introduction and sustained feeding of food allergens is burdensome for parents, and 2) it can also be costly, especially for low-income families. We look forward to learning the results from this study and hopefully help in closing a socioeconomic gap in allergen introduction.
