Geospatial data in epidemiology can be collected from various sources:
Surveillance Systems: Public health surveillance systems often collect location-specific data on disease incidence and prevalence. Remote Sensing: Satellites and drones can capture environmental data, such as temperature, vegetation, and water bodies, which influence disease transmission. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS platforms integrate and analyze spatial data from multiple sources, providing comprehensive maps and models. Mobile Health (mHealth): Mobile devices and apps can collect real-time geospatial data from individuals, such as movement patterns and exposure to environmental risks.
