...from: http://www.thisisbrandx.com/2009/10/harvard-medical-school-releases-iphone-… Harvard Medical School releases iPhone app to protect against swine flu 01:01 PM PT, Oct 26 2009 Hot on the heels of President Obama declaring a national emergency over the rapidly spreading swine flu virus (a.k.a. H1N1), Harvard Medical School has released a handy new iPhone app that will alert you to outbreaks in your area. What a great idea, and coming from a trusted medical school, this might get some serious traction in the iTunes app store. The HMSMobile Swine Flu Center app includes video, animation and text about how to avoid H1N1 and methods of protecting your home and workplace from an outbreak. The app also provides real-time updates from the Harvard Medical School. For all of you hypochondriacs, there is even an interactive guide to H1N1 symptoms (Yellow eyes? Nope, you've got jaundice!) and a "hot line" guide to finding medical treatment in your area. -- Richard Metzger
