EP16. Putting the "Public" back in Public Health with Kinsa's Inder Singh
Episode 3
Monday, 10 May, 2021

Inder Singh is a philanthropist and entrepreneur who joins us this week to talk about Kinsa's FLUency program - a free national health program with a mission to stop the spread of illness. After his time with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) as Executive Vice President, Inder noticed that that the world was trying to curb infectious diseases with zero information on where and when diseases start. So, he founded Kinsa to try and address that knowledge gap. Inder created the "World's Smartest Thermometer" and, in conjunction with AI technology, the FLUency program is able to take the guess work out of caring for sick kids. The program allows for earlier detection and earlier response to illnesses in schools. After success in over 4000 elementary schools across the United States, Kinsa FLUency is now expanding into Canada to help ameliorate the response to both the COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious illnesses. With the help of a sponsorship by Lysol, participating schools will receive free thermometers for every family and all will be able to monitor aggregate data with 100% privacy protection.
