Simulating pandemic spread with a phone app?
Source: BBC News |
A just-released version of the FluPhone app can transmit fake pathogens to other phones so that the team can randomly "infect" one phone and see how it spreads within the volunteer community. Pretty cool. I wouldn't head to your favorite app store to volunteer just yet, since this study appears confined to the UK and Nokia phones. I actually forgot that Nokia made mobile phones.
