App Uses Fitbit To Predict Sickness

Random iPhone App of the week: Fitbit gets you moving and the achu app wants to help you avoid getting sick. Developed by Datapult, achu takes a user's Fitbit data to alert them when their body is showing signs of a reoccurring illness, such as a cold, before it even happens.

Users first calibrate the app by entering their symptoms when they are actually sick. They then have the option to track various symptoms such as: headache, cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, fatigue, fever, and aches and pains. Once calibrated, achu will look for similar trends and patterns that match the sequence of data in the calibration. Users will receive a daily notification delivering their probability of getting sick based on their past sickness calibrations. Perfect for those who don't have enough to stress out about.
