BALTIMORE, MD – January 21st, 2016 – Sickweather, developer of the world’s first real-time map of illness, has just launched Sickweather Pro, an enterprise solution providing detailed intelligence on the spread of illness with flu activity forecasts up to 15 weeks in advance with 91% accuracy.
Sickweather Pro is powered by Nightingale: Sickweather’s data science engine for classifying public reports of illness from social media. This engine leverages Sickweather’s patent-pending disease surveillance technology with additional crowdsourced input from Sickweather’s own consumer-facing apps and 3rd party partners like Johnson & Johnson’s HealthyDay app, Swaive’s Smart Ear Thermometer, and more.
"Sickweather Pro offers the full might of our new Nightingale engine to HR professionals and public health organizations, among others, who can use it to get the earliest warning available of illness trends in the US,” says Graham Dodge, CEO of Sickweather. “HR professionals working with large employee populations can use it to be better prepared for costs arising from absenteeism or unproductive and even detrimental presenteeism.”
