Created by epidemiologists at Harvard, Boston Childrens Hospital and The Skoll Global Threats Fund, Flu Near You relies on voluntary participation from the general public, asking you to take a few seconds each week to report if you or your family members have been healthy or sick.
We analyze thousands of reports and map them to generate local and national views of influenza-like illness, providing public health officials and researchers with real-time, anonymous information that could help prevent the next pandemic.
With your help, we can all see what’s coming and better still- you have the knowledge to protect yourself and your family against disease.
