Having trouble finding H1N1? Harvard Medical School releases Swine Flu tracking app

Harvard Medical School has developed a H1N1-tracking iPhone app. The app is a project of HMS Mobile, which sounds like a British Navy ship, but says it’s a Harvard Medical group dedicated to helping people deal with day-to-day health emergencies.

Also — that’ll be two bucks. Just around the corner, those anti-capitalist hippies at Children’s Hospital, working with the MIT Media Lab, released their own, free H1N1 tracking app last month.

That’s two H1N1 apps sprouting from about one city block — If things keep up like this, pretty soon you should be able to use your mobile phone to track H1N1 germs chasing you down the street in real-time, or see the normally invisible H1N1 crawling over people’s faces in an augmented reality app, exposing them as the feverish, congested zombies they are.

    I just downloaded the app, it seems as though its actually a product featuring the Children’s hospital module.. you can also direct-download their app.. it pretty nifty! I think its cool they did it together instead of making 50 different products.. The videos are super cool in the app, the Swine Flu hotlines – totally worthless.
