Sickweather Finds Out About Illness Outbreaks through Social Media

 photo SickweatherTo keep from getting sick is important to many people not just to avoid health issues, but also to avoid problems with several other aspects of life.  Getting sick can hurt people’s productivity and work life as well as their general health.  Cool product in technology Sickweather is a mobile app that uses social media posts in order to help people see and predict when major outbreaks of illness are going to take place in their area.  Sickweather works by checking social media and finding posts that indicate sickness.  For example, if someone posts on Twitter or Facebook that he or she is out of work due to illness, that his or her kid has the chicken pox or anything else that is similar, that post registers with Sickweather.  Sickweather tracks all the places people are posting about illnesses and provides users with a map that marks regions where the number of posts is high.  People can use these maps to find out if there are outbreaks in the area whether they live or anywhere they are going to be in the near future.  Anyone who wants to download and install Sickweather on his or her iPhone, but experiences technical trouble, should find a tech support provider to help deal with the issue.

Sickweather also lets people self-report sicknesses through the app.  If people already use Sickweather and come down with a sickness, they can help by reporting it directly.  Between the app’s scanning of public social media posts and the reports from its users, Sickweather can inform people of areas to avoid in order to stay healthy.  Anyone who has difficulties reporting sickness through the app may have a connection problem and need iPhone support.

Sickweather even lets people zoom in to local maps.  People can view where social media posts about sickness are coming from on a street level using the app.  Therefore, even when there is an outbreak in someone’s hometown, he or she can still use the app to see where illness is most prominent around him or her.  With the help of this cool product, many people have a better chance of avoiding sickness in the future.
