The system comprises a beacon housed within a wearable, such as a bracelet, that is worn by the dependent. The beacon has an associated identifier that is linked to data stored on a server that corresponds to the allergy and sensitivity levels of the dependent individual with an allergy, indicating that the child is allergic to peanuts, eggs, gluten and/or other allergens. When in use, the beacon transmits identification data to a handheld device operated by a user which is utilized to retrieve the allergy and other confidential information, such as emergency contact information, from the server and to issue an alert notification to the user. In a preferred embodiment, a layer of privacy is provided so that a user must first be “trusted” before receiving confidential information about a person with allergies. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An allergy warning and protection system configured to be operated by a user utilizing a smart device having an interface display screen, Internet connectivity and location identifying technology, comprising: a communication beacon having a unique identifier and that generates and emits a signal encoded with said unique identifier; a wearable configured to accommodate said communication beacon; a database comprising a plurality of data entries that are linked to said wearable, said data entries defined by said unique identifier, an allergy ID and an allergy sensitivity ID; a processor controlled server, said server being operatively connected to said smart device and to access said database in response to a query from said smart device, utilizing said unique identifier, for said allergy ID; wherein said processor controlled server returns said allergy ID to said interface display screen in response to said query utilizing said unique identifier and said smart device receives a notification notifying said user that an individual with an allergy is nearby. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 1, wherein said query from said smart device is also for said allergy sensitivity ID, and wherein said processor controller server also returns said allergy sensitivity ID to said interface display screen in response to said query utilizing said unique identifier. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 1, wherein said allergy sensitivity ID is defined by at least one of an airborne level allergy sensitivity, a contact level allergy sensitivity and an ingestion level allergy sensitivity. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 1, wherein said smart device comprises an application having program instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that is configured to scan for said beacon and display said allergy ID and allergy sensitivity ID on said interface display screen when said application detects said beacon. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 2, wherein when said processor controlled server returns said allergy ID and said allergy sensitivity ID to said interface display screen in response to said query utilizing said unique identifier, a visual and audible notification is displayed on said interface display screen. ### Claim 6 An allergy warning and protection system configured to be operated by a user utilizing a smart device having an interface display screen, Internet connectivity and location identifying technology, comprising: a wearable with a housing formed of water resistant silicone material; a beacon that generates and emits a short-range signal with an identifier code, said beacon being encapsulated within said housing of said wearable; a database comprising a data set with a plurality of values corresponding to said identifier code, an allergy ID and a name associated with an individual with an allergy, and an allergy sensitivity ID; a processor controlled server, said server being operatively connected to said smart device to access said database in response to a query utilizing said identifier code to determine said allergy ID that is matched to said identifier code; wherein said processor controlled server is configured to notify said user operating said smart device and transmit said allergy ID to said interface display screen in response to said query utilizing said unique identifier after detecting said signal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 6, wherein said server being operatively connected to said smart device to access said database in response to a query utilizing said identifier code to further determine said allergy sensitivity level ID that is matched to said identifier code and wherein said processor controlled server is configured to notify said user operating said smart device and further transmit said allergy sensitivity level ID to said interface display screen in response to said query utilizing said unique identifier after detecting said signal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 6, wherein said allergy sensitivity level ID is defined by at least one of an airborne level allergy sensitivity, a contact level allergy sensitivity and an ingestion level allergy sensitivity. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 6, wherein said plurality of values includes an emergency contact ID. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 6, wherein said plurality of values includes a trusted contact ID. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 10, wherein said trusted contact ID is associated with said user in said database and wherein said name of said individual with an allergy is transmitted from said server to said interface display screen only when said user is associated with said trusted contact ID. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 10, wherein said interface display screen is configured to display a cell corresponding to said allergy ID after said signal from said beacon is detected. ### Claim 13 (depends on 6) The allergy warning and protection system of claim 6, wherein said short-range signal is a Bluetooth signal.
