Outbreaks near me
I’m not an iPhone user, but I’d like to be one today. HealthMap, an application created by Clark Freifeld and John Brownstein from the Children’s Hospital Informatics Program, uses GPS to determine when a disease outbreak occurs near an iPhone user; and thus alerts them of the danger.
I’d like to see HealthMap ported to BlackBerry devices- that way I too could avoid the next dinner party in a suburb with a major H1N1 outbreak, or drive around an Ebola or Marburg traffic jam!
HealthMap is a free download from the iTunes store.
