Resources from Kinsa Health

Kinsa is on a mission to track and prevent the spread of illness.

Kinsa Health has generously agreed to make their data available via public API for the hackathon. See documentation here: https://docsend.com/view/9sbvnh4

The U.S. Health Weather Map is a visualization of seasonal illness linked to fever - specifically influenza-like illness. The aggregate, anonymized data visualized here is a product of Kinsa’s network of Smart Thermometers and accompanying mobile applications, and Kinsa is providing this map and associated charts as a public service: https://www.kinsahealth.co/privacy-principles/

For answers to common questions about the map and the terms used here, please review our FAQ page: https://content.kinsahealth.com/en-us/atypical-illness-faq.

For details about our approach to determining typical and atypical illness levels, please review our technical approach document: https://content.kinsahealth.com/covid-detection-technical-approach.
