There is real concern about the potential spread of H1N1 -- or swine flu this fall.

One of the big issues is tracking the evolution of these diseases.

Enter HealthMap.

Last year, the MIT Media Lab in conjunction with Children's Hospital in Boston created a Web based application that lets anybody track health issues across the country -- and around the world.

In the last few weeks, they have released an iPhone application.

Clark Freifeld is a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab and the co-founder of HealthMap.

He tells the Daily Debrief more about how HealthMap works during this week's Meet the Innovators.
