> FINDER (Foodborne IllNess DEtector in Real time) — leverages search and location data to identify “potentially unsafe” restaurants.
>As the study’s authors explain, FINDER takes in anonymous and aggregated logs from users who opt to share their location data. It identifies search queries indicative of food poisoning (e.g., “how to relieve stomach pain”) and then looks up restaurants visited by the users who performed those searches. Lastly, for each applicable restaurant, it calculates the proportion of folks who stopped by and later showed evidence of foodborne illnesses in their searches.
>But the tests demonstrated a 68 percent improvement over advanced complaint-based systems that use Twitter data mining, including Chicago’s own.
>“Our results provide evidence that this type of tool can be used by health departments today to more rapidly pinpoint and investigate locations where outbreaks may be occurring,” the researchers wrote. This model can be expanded by public health departments to reduce the burden of foodborne illness across the United States, and can also be employed to assist in monitoring a variety of other diseases globally.

but it is a good idea, so what if its google, other developers could create they own versions that value the users privacy. I'd actually use such an app to avoid risky food joints.
Racist AI is at it again? Just how many times they have to shut it down for it to stop being racist?
Andrew Adams
at this point not really. the lengths you have to go to ensure true privacy arent worth it

could you imagine you order a baguette which is hard and dry on the outside, it cuts the corner of your lips an one of them chefs with HIV accidentally cut their hand while cutting your baguette 2 minutes before it was served. They didn't tell anyone they cut their hand, you get sick a few months later and find out you have HIV, you also infected your pregnant girlfriend, your unborn child is also now infected.
Yeah I won't be eating at this place ever.
