iPhone applications developer IntuApps that Apple will soon approve its swine flu iPhone application, which allows users to see the current threat level of swine flu, a map showing the locations of recently diagnosed or suspected cases, a symptoms section with background info on the flu and an alerts page with breaking news.
As TechCrunch points out, if nothing else, this app allows the worried well to avoid affected areas while they are on-the-go. Last week I wrote a column wondering if such an app would come about. By the way, Intuapps isn't looking to capitalize on the swine flu monetarily -- the application will be free to download from Apple's AppStore.
