If you are a hypochondriac, this site may as well be your homepage. For the rest of us, WhoIsSick is a potentially powerful, unique tool to help us to understand why we´re feeling a bit under the weather.
WhoIsSick is a user generated site that acts as a public source of local illnesses. Users can check the amount of people who have reported to particular symptoms and then sort the results by age, gender, and location (ZIP) This site is NOT meant to replace the expertise of a certified medical doctor, but rather give you some peace of mind, or a warning if many people in your area are experiencing, for example, flu symptoms. This site is only for minor illnesses, so if you´re looking out for any cases of the bird flu in your immediate area, I can´t say this site will give you any peace of mind.
WhoIsSick.com In Their Own Words
“…a mission to provide current and local sickness information to the public – without the hassle of dealing with hospitals or doctors. With a strong belief in the power of people and a faith that user generated content can be extremely valuable, our team set out to create an entirely new system for tracking and monitoring sickness information.
