======= Germ Theory is an application that provides real time, individualized risk assessments related to disease outbreaks. The Germ Theory Mobile app offers an interface for users to examine known outbreak locations in their neighborhood, view their risk of infection based on where they have been, and get information about common diseases.

On the web, Germ Theory leverages its vast data sets to give public health officials administrative privileges to interpret and analyze disease data. A simple command can determine the risk of infection based on user locations. Germ theory uses a unique algorithm to index risk and deliver compelling risk assessments.

Contributors can get started by cloning down a forked version of this repo and starting up the server. From the root directory, run node server/server.js. Head over to localhost:4568 in your browser and you should be able to log in to the administrative console.

For mobile app development, all files are included in the mobile folder. Please read the before contributing to the project.

Germ Theory is deployed at germ-tracker.herokuapp.com, and a web version of the mobile application can be accessed at germ-tracker.herokuapp.com/mobile. Germ theory employs CI using Travis.
