Health news in my markets, on a map

What it does

Every Monday: the week’s stories from the health news feed you follow, read by xMap AI for stories about outbreaks, clinic and hospital openings or closures and medicine shortages, each placed on the map where it happens, only the stories not seen before, sorted by kind and emailed to your team.

In one sentence: Mondays at 07:00, read a news feed for news about an outbreak, a clinic or hospital opening or closing, or a shortage of a medicin, keep only new ones, clean up their categories, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Health teams hear about an outbreak or a shortage from a colleague, days late. This flow reads the week’s news every Monday and shows where each story happens.

The time it saves

Mondays at 07:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
