Being exposed to those that are sick is how most of us become sick ourselves, so knowing where a large number of people are sick can be helpful.
An app called SickWeather acts as a forecasting tool that shows you where lots of people are saying that they are experiencing symptoms.
It does this by scanning social media posts and other data sources to gather signals of areas that show hot zones in your area.
Knowing about these areas can be helpful so you can avoid them as this app serves as an early warning system for outbreaks.
Their ability to predict outbreaks is pretty impressive based on the technology they've developed.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
