GIS and Public Health
GIS plays a vital role in protecting the health and wellbeing of citizens.
By assessing the relationships between health and place and the interactions of people and the environment, we can determine how to respond and what to communicate, as captured in my book.
In addition, we also provide training in GIS and Remote Sensing for a range of public and global health related topics.
Learn how to integrate geographic information, use different geospatial technologies and apply spatial data to better understand health risks and disease outcomes. Look through the book and watch the video below where I summarise the book.
GIS / Geospatial 4 Health
GIS / Geospatial 4 Health
Interested in learning how GIS and Earth Observation data and geospatial technologies can be used for better understanding health risks and outcomes?
This book provides health professionals with the necessary GIS and data analysis skills. A variety of case studies using different methods to address a wide range of infectious diseases are used to provide a solid understanding and hands-on practice. In this book you will learn how to use GIS to map health risks, identify patterns of disease in time and place and assess accessibility to health care services.
Work through this book to develop the critical GIS analytical skills to build the knowledge you need for tackle a variety of public health challenges. Each chapter ends with an activity that integrates GIS skills and GIScience theory with epidemiology. Not only will you be developing the necessary GIS skills but also the relevant data science skills and how these integrate with epidemiology.
