Be alerted for Flu, Norovirus, Pink Eye, Whooping Cough, and 19 other illnesses.

Sickweather has been honored among "100 Brilliant Companies" by Entrepreneur Magazine, "Top 5 Sites Crowdsourcing for Your Health" by George Washington University School of Public Health & Health Services, and has been recognized for identifying the early start flu season, 6 weeks before the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
With Sickweather Groups you can follow, report illnesses, and post messages directly to the locations that matter most to you, such as schools, workplaces, restaurants, hospitals and more! Add our SickScore(R) widget to your home screen to see the threat level of contagious illness in your immediate area.
Sickweather uses a patent-pending process to track and map reports of illness from social media in addition to crowdsourcing directly from our user community. Reports are represented by blue "SICK" map markers at the local level -- tap them for more information of exactly when they were reported. Some viruses can survive on surfaces for up to 48 hours and can have a viral life cycle of 2 weeks, so we color-code more recent reports as RED within 1 day, ORANGE within 2 days, YELLOW within 1 week, and we include reports as old as 2 weeks in BLUE.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Great idea - poor implementation. The app is very unstable; I can't send reports, crashes when accessing some menus. Doesn't seem to allow for reporting in a different location than the current (useful if travelling).

Great idea. Was looking forward to use. Even more so for my kids sake. But can't use due to app not showing up in draw over apps to enable location. Im using LG K8 US375 android. 6.0. Edit: please someone get back to me soon id love to use the app knowing that the flu is suppose to be the worst in years an only 10% effective

I really appreciate being able to see what's going around. I'm hopeful that, with a parent undergoing chemo and a toddler in daycare, that people would be willing to report for the community.

I still can't send in reports, even after I updated the app. Now, it can't detect my location so I can't even view other reports around me. Officially done with the app. I'm why y'all changed the interface in the first place, it ran fine. You've had nothing but problems with this new one.
