GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A smart phone app is looking to help folks navigating through all the illnesses that winter can bring.
The Sickweather app’s Dave Switzer says it’s the world’s first real-time map of human health.
“It pulls information from various social media sources and crowdsourcing information that tells people what’s going on in terms of illness.”
Switzer notes the app also allows user to manager their specific condition.
“That will actually help track, from the thermometers that you can connect with your phone, your health and how you’re doing in terms of what your temperature has been over certain periods of time.”
While the app is free, Switzer says there is a feature that’s available for a varying cost.
“You can call a doctor to be connected with somebody who is a professional in that regard.”
Switzer says “flu, the common cold, and fever are big around the Green Bay/Appleton area” right now.
He notes the app is available in both the Apple and Google stores.
