The Role of Crowdsourcing in Public Health
Iwaspoisoned.com partners with over 400 public health organizations. Our site utilizes crowdsourced reports of individuals' foodborne illness experiences to aid public health organizations and enhance food safety in their respective areas. By allowing consumers to report instances of foodborne illness, the platform serves as a crucial link between the public and health authorities. This method of crowdsourcing is instrumental in public health as it provides real-time, geo-fenced data that might otherwise go unreported, offering a comprehensive view of food safety issues as they arise.

  Network Impact
The partnership between Iwaspoisoned and public health entities has proven beneficial in contributing to the overall improvement in food safety management. Our role in these efforts is primarily as an information conduit, connecting reported incidents with those who can investigate and respond.
