The Weather My Way +RTP app is an open source web-based weather app that uses Real-Time Personalization technology. We created this app so that you can experience an app that uses RTP while also having access to the app's source code.
The Weather My Way +RTP app combines weather forecast with an analysis of the app user's genes (using App Chains). The app then provides the user with daily, personalized recommendations that optimize the app user's wellness and longevity.
Even a weather app can now be personalized to the app-user in real-time!

App Workflow:
-
End user installs the app on their device or uses it via their computer.
-
End user then enters their login details and internally an API key is passed to the app.
-
The app can now access the end user’s data and the available data files are displayed to the user.
-
The user can then select the data file upon which the app can be run.
-
On the next screen the user can select their geographic location. At this point the app communicates with an external weather app and downloads that data in real-time.
-
The app then combines the user’s risk of skin cancer and the weather data and displays the information as follows:
-
If Sunny and temp is over 70 degrees F then based on the person's Melanoma Risk the following could appear as an app notification via the app:
-
Lower Risk and Normal Risk of Melanoma = It's going to be a sunny day today! Sequencing.com analyzed your genes and wanted to remind you that even though you are not at an increased risk for skin cancer, you should either put on sunscreen today or avoid the sun because too much sun exposure can cause premature aging.
-
Slightly Increased Risk and Moderate Risk of Melanoma = It's going to be a sunny day today! Sequencing.com analyzed your genes and it's important that you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher this morning to your face, neck, arms and any other exposed skin. You should also reapply the sunscreen again at around noon and we'll remind you at that time so you don't forget.

High Risk and Very High Risk of Melanoma = It's going to be a sunny day today! Sequencing.com analyzed your genes and it's extremely important that you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher this morning to your face, neck, arms and any other exposed skin. You should also reapply the sunscreen again at around noon and we'll remind you at that time so you don't forget.

Thus we are able to combine real-time weather data with the genetic data and produce a personalized risk assessment report based on real-time weather data.
