Three Ways to Prep for Allergy Season

Surviving allergy season is a lot easier if you are prepared. Here are some tips to help you get ready.

  1. Be ready to clean your indoor air. Replace your regular HVAC filters with high quality filters so that you aren’t blowing pollen and mold around your house. Consider getting a hepa air filter to specifically clean the air in your bedroom and other important living spaces.
  2. Stock up. Make sure your medication is up to date and fully stocked. Stock up on other things like saline nasal rinse, masks, and hay fever glasses.
  3. Educate. Let the people you share living and work space with know that it makes a difference in your suffering if windows and doors are kept closed, bedding is clean, and allergens are kept at a minimum

A clearer, more helpful Pollen Wise home screen

We’ve been spending a lot of time reviewing feedback, reading survey responses, and looking closely at how people are using Pollen Wise. One common thread amongst the feedback and survey responses stuck out: people want the app to feel easier to understand at a glance, and more helpful in answering the question, “What should I care about right now?” That thinking shaped this latest update. This is a major refresh to the Pollen Wise home screen, and while we know there is still more to improve, this update is an important step. We’re continuing to build, refine, and learn, and your feedback is a big part of what helps us decide where to go next.

Incoming: Branches, Revisions, and Layers

Update: The data cutoff for legacy metrics data was changed from March 11 to March 23, 2026 6PM UTC. Data before that date will continue to be available for the forseeable future, however data after March 23, 2026 6PM UTC will no longer be present either in the legacy portal data viewer or via v1 APIs. Please use the V2 APIs and the Branch/Revision-powered data viewer in the portal for live incoming data

LLMs vs CNNs: Why Physical AI Starts With Data Infrastructure

When we say “AI” at Pollen Sense, most people assume we mean LLMs. We don’t. When people hear that Pollen Sense is building AI data infrastructure, the default assumption is usually large language models, chatbots, text generation, or conversational AI. That’s understandable given the moment we’re in. But it’s not what we mean when we say AI. At Pollen Sense, AI data infrastructure means Physical AI, machine learning systems that directly observe the real world, classify physical signals in real time, and convert them into structured, trustworthy data that other systems can reason on.
