Geo-health

Address a range of global health issues in our online course Geo-Health

Geo-health is the integration of geographic information, technologies and spatial concepts with epidemiology.

Health and disease is complex and requires a dynamic approach to understanding the drivers behind the patterns that we see. Geo-spatial technologies and GIScience play a vital role in visualizing where and when diseases occur in space and time, providing context and helping us understand why they may be prevalent, who may be affected and how to address the problem potentially.

Here at ITC, we have developed a collaborative research and learning environment that enables us to address various health and disease issues all over the world. For more information on what we have done and how geospatial technologies and data can be used for geo-health, we refer to our publications.
