Health Tracking Network

Help find ways to prevent the common cold and flu, and earn money for charity at the same time!

In the Health Tracking Network (www.healthtracking.net), people across the world work together to monitor common illnesses and discover factors related to illness.

Easy to participate

When you join the Health Tracking Network, you:

• spend 2-3 minutes per week answering questions about illness symptoms and other topics,
• earn money for charities of your choice, and
• can track your own health, fitness, or anything of interest to you with separate tracking tools.

Participation is completely anonymous

Benefits to you and society

We promote this project because we believe that health advice should be based on scientific evidence. Unlike other research projects on the common cold and flu, the Health Tracking Network examines vitamin use as one of many factors that might protect against illness.

The Health Tracking Network has already generated substantial donations to charity. We like that, because supporting charity is an important part of what we do at EarthTurns.

The personal tracking tools at the Health Tracking Network might be useful for people who are trying to make positive changes and maintain healthy habits.

Members of the Health Tracking Network will be the first to know the research-based advice about how to protect against the common cold and flu. The project already gives regular updates on illness trends.
