Our Health Watch · A 3Brains app

Whole person.
Whole community.

Things that could affect your family's or community's health. Drug recalls, medical device recalls, disease outbreaks, environmental enforcement actions — this information is scattered across government feeds, and the things that matter most are buried until it's too late. So we built OurHealth.Watch to bring it together: a simple way to follow the places you care about and get notified when something near them affects your health.

OurHealth.Watch monitors public information from government sources. No ads. No subscriptions. Just useful answers.

How it works.

i.

Add a place.

A city, state, country, or your neighborhood — wherever your family lives, works, or travels. We'll start watching it for you.

ii.

Watch as many places as you want.

Home. Where your parents live. Your kids' college town. The country you're visiting next month. Each place gets watched independently.

iii.

We alert you.

When something near one of your places affects your health — a drug recall, an outbreak, an EPA enforcement action — you'll see an Alert. So you hear about it in time.

A quick tour.

Our Health Watch pulls live data from the FDA, CDC, WHO, and EPA — the same sources used by health professionals and journalists. No noise, no clickbait. Just the events that actually matter near the places you care about.

Our Health Watch — Add a place
Add a place

City, state, or country.

Type any place — your home state, your kids' college town, the country where your family lives, anywhere you're traveling. Your address is safe — we don't store street addresses, only the names of the places you watch.

Our Health Watch — Watchlist
Your watchlist

Every place you care about, in one list.

Home, family in Florida, parents in Texas, a trip to Spain. Each place gets watched independently — we'll alert you when something at any of them changes. Tap any place to see what's active there right now.

Our Health Watch — Place detail
Place detail

See the recalls. See the outbreaks.

Tap a place to see active drug recalls, medical device recalls, disease outbreaks, and EPA enforcement actions there. "Nothing active here right now" is a perfectly good answer — and it means we're still watching.

Or just try it now — open it in your browser:

Open Our Health Watch

Our Health Watch is a web app — it installs in one tap, with no app store needed. Once installed, it has its own icon on your home screen and runs full-screen, just like any other app.

iPhone & iPad Safari

  1. Open Our Health Watch in Safari (not Chrome — Apple only allows installs from Safari).
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up — at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down in the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add in the top-right corner. That's it.

The Our Health Watch icon will appear on your home screen next to your other apps. Tap it any time to launch.

Android Chrome

  1. Open Our Health Watch in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap Install app — or Add to Home Screen, depending on your version of Chrome.
  4. Tap Install. That's it.

Some versions of Chrome show an automatic install banner at the bottom of the page — you can use that instead if you'd like.

Already on your phone? Just open it.

A few honest questions.

Where does the data come from?
Our Health Watch pulls live data from the FDA (drug and medical device recalls), the CDC (U.S. disease outbreak reports and health alerts), the WHO (international disease outbreak news), and the EPA (environmental enforcement actions). These are the same sources used by health professionals and journalists.
Is my address safe?
Yes. Your places are stored privately on your account — and we only store the names of places (your state, your city), not your street address. We don't share, sell, or use your places for anything other than telling you when something is happening near them.
What kinds of events trigger an alert?
Drug recalls, medical device recalls, disease outbreaks, and EPA enforcement actions near your watched places. We aim for "things you'd actually want to know about" — not every administrative footnote.
Can I watch places outside the U.S.?
Yes for outbreaks — WHO data is global. FDA and EPA data is U.S.-focused. International coverage for recalls and environmental enforcement is on the roadmap.
Is this medical advice?
No. Our Health Watch is for information only. Always consult your doctor and follow guidance from local authorities. We're not a substitute for official health alerts — we just make sure you see what's already public, in time to act on it.
Does it cost anything?
No. Our Health Watch is free. There are no ads and no subscriptions on the core experience.
Can I delete my places or my account?
Yes — any time, from inside the app. Each place has a delete button, and the Account section lets you remove everything. We don't make it hard.
