going to allow you to communicate with other parents in their school. other people in your community to find out what's going around. so somebody can say i just took mary to the body trig, she's positive for strep or johnny has the flu, so that you can potentially track and report back to your pediatrician what you think your child might have. >> how about when we have to wait when we get to the hospital? is there something that can make that a little bit easier? >> yes. in 2015 you'll see this happening in more and more hospitals much it's call the ease app. so this was developed by two doctors. and what this does it allows communication from the operating room to the parents or any family member so the family members download this app for free. they can receive text messages from the circulating nurse. they can receive anything, pictures. whatever is happening in the or can be transmitted directly to the parents immediately. so that really does ease that stress. it's like snap chat. it's hipaa compliant.

those pictures will disappear. in 20 veep they're hoping to expand this to cardiac surgery first because those can be very lengthy procedures, you know, transplants and various things can be very, very, you know, troublesome to people that are waiting for their loved ones. and then expand out even more. potentially to emergency departments. so again i would look for that ease app to be hitting other hospitals next year. >> all right. dr. joe, thank you. interesting stuff. >> yes, thank you. >> we appreciate it. thank you for jingoes for fox 29 weekend. >> flu is up in penn. the virus is affecting health of the state. more than 5,000 people have gotten sick as of last week. allegheny county had the most concerned cases with more than 800 officials say most people don't get medical attention so the numbers don't show all the likely cases. flu season runs from october through may. >> there is catholic woman out in kansas city so many people
