What are Some Examples of Geospatial Tracking in Epidemiology?
One notable example of geospatial tracking in epidemiology is the use of GIS to map the spread of COVID-19. Interactive maps and dashboards provided real-time data on cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, helping public health officials and the public stay informed. Another example is the use of GPS data to track malaria outbreaks in regions with high transmission rates, enabling targeted interventions such as insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying.
