Health GIS

Health GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a technology that combines health data with maps to analyze and visualize health-related information. It helps identify patterns and trends, such as the spread of diseases or the distribution of healthcare resources, by showing how health varies across different locations. By layering various data, like demographics or environmental factors, health GIS can assist public health officials and researchers in making informed decisions to improve health outcomes and allocate resources effectively. Ultimately, it enhances our understanding of the relationship between health and geography.
