Vira for Parents
When something starts spreading near your child's school or daycare, Vira tells you before the school nurse sends home a note.
The problem
Parents find out about school outbreaks from other parents, two or three days after the first cases appear. The chain is slow: a child gets sick, misses school, comes back, and tells a friend, who tells a parent, who mentions it in a group chat.
Schools send home letters when the outbreak is already peaking. By then, your child has been sitting in the same classroom, eating in the same cafeteria, and sharing the same water fountain with kids who were contagious but not yet visibly sick.
The CDC tracks outbreaks at a national level. Not your specific zip code. Not this week. Vira does.

One minute on who she is, what she watches, and what it feels like when she texts.
How Vira helps
Vira watches disease activity near the locations you care about. Add your child's school zip code and she'll flag anything unusual before it reaches the front office.
Set up a watch for the city or neighborhood where your family lives. Vira alerts you when outbreak reports rise above normal, so you know what's circulating in your community.
Text Vira directly. "Is there a stomach bug going around in Austin right now?" She checks live surveillance data and replies in seconds, not a news article from last month.

Tell Vira where your family is. She'll monitor that location and alert you when outbreak activity rises, before it becomes a headline.
