Kinsa creates a real-time aggregate picture of the country’s health by using smartphones and simplified digital thermometers. Kinsa developed a thermometer that plugs directly into a smartphone’s earphone jack. After downloading the Kinsa app, users can see their temperature on the smartphone screen, as well as log other symptoms and share the information with a doctor, family or a private group. As the thermometer gains traction, the company’s hope is that it can provide individuals, doctors, public health officials and health companies with better data on where and when illnesses are spreading, as well as inform next steps.

Osito, which recently changed its name from Sherpa, is a personal app that gathers users’ location data, such as commuting routes over time. Then the app can check traffic and notify users if there is bad traffic on their routes and suggest alternatives. The app can also remind users when it’s time to leave for their next meeting, based on the distance to the location and the traffic. When users go to the airport, Osito will gather all relevant information, such as airline tickets, hotel and rental car, for quick access.
