• Weeks Before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...[Derived Headline]

Weeks before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization alerted the public to a growing number of swine flu cases, a start-up based in Seattle's suburbs already had a hunch something was up. Veratect Corp., a 2-year-old company with fewer than 50 employees, combines computer algorithms with human analysts to monitor tens of thousands of online sources daily for hints of disease outbreaks and civil unrest worldwide. It tracks thousands of "events" each month - an odd case of respiratory illness or a run on over-the-counter medicines, for example - then ranks them for severity and posts them on a subscription-only Web portal for clients who want early warnings.
