Very interesting article.  This is right on the bullseye for Metabiota.

[In a statement, a representative for Google Flu Trends, which now monitors 29 countries, said the service was reviewed every year, with improvements in mind. “We welcome feedback on how we can refine Flu Trends to help estimate flu levels and complement existing surveillance systems.”]

Perhaps they can get feedback from Metabiota?

Check out the demo link below.  This is what Metabiota is building for Munich RE’s insurance product.  The dashboard works on your mobile device too.
