    The document outlines challenges facing an e-Health system including lack of internet access, financial problems, poor infrastructure, and shortage of medical staff. It then describes how GPS data could be used to analyze disease distribution, population demographics, and other health-related factors by geography to help plan healthcare services and respond to emergencies. The GPS data would allow identification of high-risk epidemic areas, locations that have not received medical attention, and where at-risk groups live to optimize resource allocation.

    Geography of disease

    – Analyze disease distribution


    – Forecast areas with high risk of epidemics
    – Analyze population distribution over region by age, gender and other social factors
    – Analyze localization of other factors (dirty water, infrastructure, weather, etc) affecting health s
    ituation
    – Analyze death information relating to location

    Geography of health-care

    – Plan areas to be examined by healthcare staff


    • Where there is high level of illnesses or risk of epidemics
    • Where risk groups live (children, elderly people, pregnant women, etc)
    • Where examination has not taken place for a long time
    – Plan vaccinations, basic medical education in hygiene, first aid, etc
