New Mobile App May Track Down Who Gave You the Flu

Misery loves company

A new Facebook app may help you determine who you've caught the flu from. “Help, I Have the Flu” tracks down prime suspects to find the culprit by searching through friends’ profiles looking for keywords such as ‘sneezing,’ ‘coughing,’ and ‘vomiting’ or those who've had multiple late-night posts due to sleep deprivation, as well as their check-ins (possibly to a doctor). The app also allows users to purchase remedies from the healthcare company that runs the app, Help Remedies in the US.
