"Sipping Bits believes that the use of PYREXiA by individuals, families, schools and others could be beneficial for predicting potential outbreaks of fever related illnesses," said Christian Isaacs, co-founder and Head Developer at Sipping Bits. "Our goal at Sipping Bits is to expose the data harvested from this new type of public health surveillance as quickly as possible," said Gordon Isaacs, co-founder and Business Manager at Sipping Bits.
PYREXiA 2.0 uses location-based technologies available in the iPhone and iPod touch to provide opt-in temperature geolocation. The temperature, date/time and geolocation will be mapped and could eventually be used by local, state and federal authorities in the same manner that Google Flu Trends and the CDC's FluView-A Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report are currently being used. The real-time data captured by PYREXiA 2.0 could prove to be extremely useful to health officials in predicting influenza outbreaks.
With the addition of the Fever Dashboard to PYREXiA 2.0 parents and healthcare providers can now visualize the changes to their family member or patients fever and know exactly when the last medicine recorded was administered. Fever Dashboard is the next evolution in managing your families fevers.
PYREXiA 2.0 is available world wide immediately for $2.99 US on the App Store.
