How has GIS technology impacted epidemiology?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has revolutionized spatial analysis in epidemiology. GIS enables the mapping and analysis of disease distribution and environmental risk factors. This technology helps in identifying disease hotspots, understanding the geographic spread of diseases, and planning targeted interventions. It has been particularly useful in studying vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue.
