Geospatial mapping to target health to hotspots

Description

A $2 million international project will use cutting-edge geospatial mapping to develop a comprehensive real-time Health Atlas.

The project will allow health services to be targeted to those who need them most, enabling an understanding of the social and built environmental contexts in which people live, and how these factors shape their lifestyles and impact on their health and the availability and accessibility of health care.
