How Do Geospatial Technologies Aid Epidemiological Studies?
Geospatial technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), play a pivotal role in mapping and analyzing the geographical distribution of diseases. GIS can be used to identify disease hotspots, track the spread of infections, and assess the impact of environmental factors on health. By overlaying health data with geographical data, researchers can visualize patterns and correlations that inform public health interventions.
