Our team uses Kinsa's network of smart thermometers, used by families and schools across the country, to develop a highly granular, real-time, and anonymized geospatial map of flu outbreaks across the continental United States. We apply machine learning and forecasting techniques to predict the current intensity and future trends of regional flu outbreaks.
