Launch HN: Wyndly (YC W21) - Allergy relief through at-home oral
drops
Hi HN, I'm Aakash, and I'm a long time HN reader. My cousin Manan
and I are excited to share our startup Wyndly
(https://www.wyndly.com) with HN today. Wyndly is focused on
making long-term allergy relief convenient through at-home allergy
immunotherapy drops and telemedicine. These personalized oral drops
train your immune systems to stop reacting to allergy triggers like
pollen, pets, or dust. Manan is an ear-nose-and-throat surgeon and
allergy doctor, and in his physical practice, he's treated
thousands of patients with at-home allergy drops, a form of allergy
immunotherapy. During allergy immunotherapy, you gradually
introduce your immune system to your allergy triggers. Over time,
your immune system learns to tolerate these allergy triggers and
stops reacting to them. For patients, this means greatly reduced
allergy symptoms and long-term relief [1] without any other
medicine for years after patients finish their immunotherapy.
While allergy drops are 80% of allergy immunotherapy in some
European countries, in the United States, allergy drops are just
5.9% of allergy immunotherapy prescriptions [2] and are really only
available in university hospitals like Johns Hopkins, University of
Pittsburgh, and West Virginia University [3] [4] [5]. Part of the
reason for their limited availability is physician training, and
another part is the health insurance system's incentives. Most
allergy doctors were trained on allergy shots, and prescribe what
they are most experienced with. Additionally, health insurance
programs incentivize prescribing allergy shots. In his medical
training, Manan trained on both allergy drops and shots. When Manan
gave his patients the choice between at-home allergy drops and
allergy shots, his patients always chose drops, which are safer,
convenient, and don't require needles [6]. When Covid-19 hit
Denver in March 2020, Manan switched all of his allergy drop
patients to online care to continue treatment. After shelter-in-
place was lifted, his patients continued online care due to the
convenience, which told us one thing--patients preferred and were
comfortable with telemedicine for allergy care. And that's why we
started Wyndly. We're trying to make allergy immunotherapy
convenient and affordable, so that any one of the 60 million people
in America suffering from allergies has the opportunity to get
lifelong relief--just like braces straighten your teeth and Lasik
fixes your vision. We've done our best to make our patient
experience as easy as possible. First, we learn more about you and
your allergy history. Then, our medical team creates a personalized
treatment plan with treatment sent straight to your door. Most
patients notice benefits at 6 months, and some patients have
reported allergy symptom relief as early as 6 weeks [7]. Patients
lock-in lifelong allergy relief after a few years [1]. Throughout
this time, we stay in touch with the patient to work with them
towards allergy relief. Please let us know if you have more
questions or feedback. We love talking about the science behind
allergy immunotherapy, our treatment model, and what we're doing.

|
| * you must stick to the regime if it's going to be efficient
| (i.e. no forgetting your dose)
|
| * for dust mite allergy, it takes 3 years, lasts for 3 years, and
| then you need to reepat it
|
| * in general, its efficiency is measured by the amount of
| medication you need daily - it should diminish with time
|
| * it's not effective in all cases
|
| * you can measure its efficiency also by a specialized blood test
|
| * in Europe, the drops cost ca EUR70 for two months

| General feedback:
|
| - I want to try this but I'm not sure how much it will cost in

| treatment cost. I know from experience with a local allergy
| clinic, this treatment is ridiculously expensive.
|
| - I also see no claims around how long the treatment will last
| (on average)
|
| - I'm not sure I understand how an at home allergy test works or
| suffices for diagnosis. I'm also fairly skeptical on how
| allergies are diagnosed in general--when I have had the skin
| tests performed, they were highly "subjective" to the point of
| lunacy--drawing circles, measuring with a ruler, etc.
|
| - Can you treat food allergies?
|
| - There are quite a few UI issues--lack of borders, padding, and
| clutter. You're going for trust here, you should make sure your
| website looks the part.
|
| - I also keep getting a cookie request thing from a separate

| Thank you for the feedback!
|
| On total cost: We charge $99/mo. It's hard to give a total cost
| without knowing more about each person's specific allergy
| triggers and how well immunotherapy takes for them. Generally,
| we expect patients to be with us for up 5 years.
|
| On how long treatment lasts: I spoke to this in the total cost
| section, but it's hard to make a blanket statement.
|
| On our at-home allergy test: We use a CLIA-certified allergy
| test which is used by allergy doctors across the United States.
| Specifically, we test for allergen-specific immunoglobulin E
| (IgE). IgE antibodies are normally found in small amounts in
| the blood, but higher amounts can be a sign that the body
| overreacts to allergens. This can lead to an allergic reaction.
| We don't treat to the test, however. Every patient shares their
| personal allergy history with their doctor, and the doctor uses
| both the allergy test and reported allergy history to create
| the personalized allergy treatment plan.
|
| On food allergies: Wyndly only treats environmental allergies
| like pollen, pet dander, and dust. We do not treat food
| allergies. There are a number of promising therapies currently
| undergoing clinical trials for food allergy oral immunotherapy,
| and we are optimistically awaiting the results.
|
| UI issues: You're absolutely right, we need to establish trust,
| and a shoddy website does not help us. We're always trying to
| improve the UI and UX.
|
| Cookie request: I'm not sure what this is. Can you share a
| screenshot? It is possible it is from our HIPAA-compliant

| for long term treatment. Also you might want to compare it to
| other long term life therapies, like braces..which are almost
| as expensive. I like the idea..I think the $99 price tag a

| The risk of severe reaction is much less with allergy drops

| are more concentrated (as they're used weekly or even monthly),
| and the body reacts to an injection much more aggressively than

|
| Still, we offer every patient an EPI pen to give them peace of
| mind. Patient comfort is of utmost importance.

|
| We will work with patients as long as their testing is valid

|
| For some patients this means using their existing allergy
| tests. For other patients who want testing through insurance we
| will prescribe them a prescription for an immunocap allergy

| it, in fact, many of my friends and family members volunteered
| to be tested both ways when we tested this out for use in our
| office and we found the results of the home test to be reliable
| and accurate.
|
| Unlike allergy shots where the skin testing results affect the
| initial dose, for sublingual allergy drop immunotherapy the
| initial dose is incredibly small for everyone for safety, and
