Sickweather recently conducted a study of data collected by their patent-pending process to qualify reports of illness from social media. Just as Doppler radar scans the skies for indicators of bad weather, Sickweather scans social networks for indicators of illness, allowing you to check for the chance of sickness as easily as you can check for the chance of rain.
This data was then used to identify the Top 10 Sickest States , and the Top 10 Healthiest States . Sickweather’s data scientists analyzed social media reports of allergies, flu, cough, colds and fever and determine the following:
