Vira for Parents
When something starts spreading near your child's school or daycare, Vira tells you before the school nurse sends home a note.
The problem
Parents may hear about illness at school through group chats before a formal notice arrives. Those stories can be useful, but they rarely tell you how widespread an illness is or when the first cases began.
School notices and public health reports can arrive on different schedules. Vira helps you check what has actually been reported for your area, with the report date and geographic limits attached.
National data cannot tell you what is happening at your child's school. Vira checks available local reports, names the area they cover, and tells you when the evidence is too thin.

The film
One minute on who she is, what she watches, and what it feels like when she texts.
How Vira helps
Vira watches public disease signals for the area you care about. Add your child's school zip code and she'll flag a verified change when a relevant source reports one.
Set up a watch for the city or neighborhood where your family lives. Vira alerts you when outbreak reports rise above normal, so you know what's circulating in your community.
Text Vira directly. "Is there a stomach bug going around in Austin right now?" She checks available, dated health sources and tells you what they do and don't establish.
Illustrative conversations
Tell Vira where your family is. She'll monitor that location and alert you when outbreak activity rises, before it becomes a headline.
