Geospatial Technology for Human Well-Being and Health: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Geospatial Technology for Human Well-Being and Health

Abstract

With continuing advancements in the availability of geospatial data, analytical tools, and computational capacity of multidisciplinary and multiscale data, geospatial technology as a whole has become enormously powerful and functional. Complex concepts like human well-being and health require robust analytical capability, which modern-day geospatial tools can provide. While human well-being and health can be defined only conceptually, both medicine and technology are rather very practical hands-on matters. Unless both of these worlds are meaningfully bridged together, full mutual benefits are not reachable. Over the last 30 years or so, there have been tremendous advancements in the area of geospatial health; however, somehow, two aspects have not received as much attention as they should have received. These are (a) limitations of different spatial analytical tools and (b) progress in making Geospatial Individual Environmental Exposure (GIEE) available for advanced health research and also for clinical practice in a usable format. Most of the chapters in this book volume address the first issue. This chapter focuses on discussing how geospatial technology can contribute to (a) emerging health science research, and (b) the clinical practice of medicine. This chapter also provides background information on relevant concepts, terminologies, technologies, and organizations, which are often unfamiliar to the emerging geospatial health professionals. Hopefully, this chapter will provide a comprehensive idea irrespective of the geospatial specialty of the readers.

  1. 1.

    This is the activity of updating instructions of a satellite's operations, which can be done i.a. to change the observation pattern of overflying satellites above a given area.
