Explore IBM - The Weather Company

Our mission at The Weather Company is to help people make informed decisions in the face of weather, and there is no better time to connect with consumers than during flu season. Today, The Weather Company introduces Flu Insights with Watson in partnership with CVS, a new feature within The Weather Channel app for iOS and Android that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to arm consumers across the country with critical information to help them prepare for flu season. For the first time, Flu Insights with Watson includes a notification that is triggered during key moments like the onset of flu season, confirmed cases of flu outbreak or increased risk conditions. Users then have access to an industry-first 15-day flu forecast that displays the risk ranging from low to high, according to ZIP code. The experience also includes illness prevention tips and the latest flu reports from the CDC to provide users with actionable insights.
