Our Work Includes

The Problem

Sickness spreads fast. By the time you hear about an outbreak, it’s already in your community. Traditional illness tracking is slow and unreliable. Sickweather changes that by delivering real-time illness alerts, helping you avoid high-risk areas.

Our client wanted an app that could:

✔ Detect illness trends in real-time using social media data

✔ Enable users to report symptoms and track local outbreaks

✔ Integrate with wearables for real-time health insights

✔ Provide predictive analytics to help users avoid high-risk areas

Traditional methods relied on delayed reports and incomplete data. Our challenge? Build a powerful illness-tracking platform that combines AI, social listening, and real-time user reports — all in one easy-to-use app.

The Process

We designed and built a multi-platform system that connects social media insights, user-reported data, and health integrations for real-time illness tracking.

  • AI-Powered Social Listening – Monitors illness mentions across social media.
  • User-Reported Data – Allows users to log symptoms and contribute to an interactive illness heatmap.
  • Wearable Integration – Syncs with Fitbit, Apple Health, and Samsung Health for real-time biometrics.
  • Bluetooth Thermometer Sync – Captures fever data directly in the app.
  • Predictive Analytics – Identifies local illness risks and trends with AI models before outbreaks peak.

The Solution

We built a real-time illness tracking ecosystem that:

✔ Aggregates and analyzes over 6 million illness reports per month

✔ Syncs with health devices for more accurate, data-driven insights

✔ Calculates a SickScore to help users assess local health risks

✔ Encourages preventive habits with a built-in handwashing timer

The app gives users instant access to real-time health insights, allowing them to make informed decisions and avoid high-risk areas.

The Impact

Sickweather is revolutionizing illness tracking, empowering users to take control of their health.

  • World’s Largest Illness Tracking Community – Millions rely on Sickweather’s data.

  • Data-Driven Health Alerts & Decisions – Users can track illness trends like they track the weather.

  • AI-Powered Outbreak Forecasting – Predictive analytics help users and businesses stay ahead of outbreaks.

When it came to scaling Sickweather Graham Dodge needed a development partner who could handle complexity, adapt quickly, and solve problems at scale.

“Maybe what made me happiest about working with Technology Rivers was their ability to actually fix the problems we had—and adapt to our current needs at any given time. There was never anything they couldn’t work on and improve. That’s why they became so valuable to our team.”
