This article from Critigen’s Community Health Team Leader, Kenny Ratliff, highlights what GIS can do for health data in our communities and nationally. Ratliff reviews how Critigen’s free app for the iPad allows users to understand how traditional BI (Business Intelligence) & GIS can come together to make big data and health data meaningful to professionals and ordinary people alike. With an increasing awareness of the cost of healthcare and the relative costs of prevention and treatment, health data are more important than ever to making wise investments in healthcare services and infrastructure. Healthcare professionals, politicians and ordinary citizens all have an interest in understanding the state of our health and contributing to solutions. Critigen, a GIS consulting & solutions company , has launched a free iPad app to help executives, health professionals and ordinary citizens visualize and understand the Community Health Status Indicators ( CHSI ).

Malaria Maps Survey
This survey is designed to explore the current sources of information used by travellers to help them make decisions about the risk of malaria in their intended destination. This survey looks at a number of static maps used in the communication of risk and will explore some features for possible future interactive maps. The purpose of this survey is to enable Dr Barry Dyer to finish his MSc in Health Informatics. Thank you for taking the time to review and complete this questionnaire. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time.
