Research Notes on WhoIsSick
The WhoIsSick web service provides community health information by enabling individuals the opportunity to share symptom information thereby mapping the local spread of illness. Posts are anonymous and the Google Maps interface filters sicknesses by symptoms, sex, age, and location. An emergency room visit inspired the founder to create the site.
Fast Facts:
- Posted symptoms can include runny nose, cough, fever, headache, muscle aches, stomachache and more
- Not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice
- Upon request, will email you when there is an outbreak of sicknesses in your area
