General information

WinAlldat Net is an allergological documentation system focussing on late-type allergies. However, the documentation and administration of immediate-type test substances and test series are also supported as part of the computerised documentation. The anamnesis is based on an IVDK-compliant anamnesis form for recording contact allergies as part of a multi-centre study. Thanks to the modular structure, clinic-specific extensions such as forms and reports are possible.

Development of the WinAlldat Net software

The WinAlldat Net IVDK software was installed in June 2015 in the Allergology Department of the University Medical Centre Göttingen (UMG) as part of a beta test as a network version on 4 PC clients. The WinAlldat Net IVDK software 2.1 R22 is currently being used in over 50 IVDK centres. The WinAlldat Net IVDK software 2.1 is available for all IVDK associated centres at https://winalldatnet.ivdk.org. By default, WinAlldat Net uses the MS Access database format (mdb)

Since 01.10.2017, a Microsoft SQL Server Express Installation (VM) has been successfully used as a database backend in the Allergology department of the University Medical Centre Göttingen (UMG).
