CDC's iPad app to solve outbreaks

Solve the Outbreak

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Description

New outbreaks happen every day and the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) are on the front lines working to save lives and protect people. When new outbreaks happen, disease detectives are sent in to figure out how they started, before they can spread. With CDC's free iPad app, you get to solve the outbreak and become a disease detective.

In this interactive, engaging app, you get to decide what to do: Do you quarantine the village? Talk to the people who are sick? Ask for more lab results?

The better your answers, the higher your score – and the more quickly you'll save lives. You'll start out as a trainee and will earn badges by solving cases, with the goal of earning the top rank: Disease Detective.

Fun to play and learn

  • Perfect for teens, young adults, and public health nerds of all ages, Solve the Outbreak app is a great way to take the study of epidemiology outside the classroom
  • Learn about diseases and outbreaks in an engaging way
  • See how disease detectives save lives around the world
  • Try your hand at solving an outbreak
  • Post your scores on Facebook or Twitter and challenge your friends to do better
