SickCity – realtime disease detection

SickCity is an app based on twitter that makes use of the vast twitter data to display disease trends in cities around the world.

This is one of the best uses of social media. You can recognize disease trends in your city and if possible get vaccinated to prevent it.

Now we can proudly say, twitter users are not only socially more active but also stay in the pink of health!

SickCity Says

SickCity watches Twitter (and soon Facebook) for any mentions of disease in a city. It then collects this information and presents it over time through graphs. SickCity is still quite new. Our algorithms are improving everyday and we are still getting in historical data for some cities.
