These are the main aspects people asked about after the presentation:
How do we put multiple needles without affecting the reactions?
We're going to need to see if there is a ratio to how close the needles can be to each other in terms of concentration of the allergen.
What if a microneedle breaks in the body?
We can consider making the microneedles biodegradable for disposal and if the needles get stuck in the body.
Is it painful?
While the aspect of having multiple needles in the body seems painful, products having microneedles have said they aren't painful.
How will the reaction be detected?
There are detection devices with other microneedle allergy tests which scan the area and determine if there is a reaction. The doctor could maybe measure the reaction by using a magnifying glass. Maybe since the needles are smaller, the only bumps that form will be from allergy reactions. Maybe we could use a lotion or something depending on the heat of the reaction or antibodies from the small wound. We need to consider and discuss further how the detection will be determined.
Other than these concerns, the product seemed to be well received. We will now need to wait for the evaluations from our peers.
