ORLANDO, Fla. - Jan. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- App Developers Need You to Track the Flu

App developers at Dr. Light Labs based in Orlando, FL have created an iPhone App that tracks your Cold & Flu symptoms, then displays them on a map similar to a Weather Radar.

         The app, appropriately called “It’s Going Around”, has been live on the App store for almost 2 months now and has hundreds of downloads and submissions in the Orlando Area. Now the Developer is ready for it to go Nationwide to help track Cold & Flu Symptoms.

         Here’s how it works, after you enter your symptoms into the app, it finds other people with similar symptoms and then tracks it’s movement in the area using your location.  "By Proactively collecting data from people who are currently sick, we can track illness in real time, a first in the Industry", said President and App Co-Creator Buck Stine. "We came up with the idea because we were curious if our symptoms were "going around" our area, and we realized there is nothing but reactive data from health organizations".  "Rather than having to wait weeks or even months to process, we wanted to create something that responds faster".  Now with the access of smartphones and GPS technology, the app allows people to see what symptoms are active nearby in real time.

The App “It’s Going Around” is Available for Free for Download in the Apple App Store, and you can also submit your symptoms online at www.its-going-around.com/. The App and Site are Free to use, Advertising Opportunities are available
