Medical Mobile GIS Tracking

摘要

Every healthcare provider, in order to make decisions, needs specific information from external sources made available to them more than fifty times a day. The challenge is obvious: better methods have to be found to get 'the right information to the right person at the right time.' Developments in integrating (geospatial) information technologies, including GPS, remote sensors, wireless networks, smart cameras and internet-linked communication systems, make it possible to achieve this aim. In the wake of these developments there is growing interest on both the medical and geomatics side in decision support using advanced (geospatial) technologies. The development of wireless devices to support location tracking and pattern analysis, furthermore, provides significant economic and exceptional technological opportunities.
