Data Access and Exchange

Mobile GIS provides a sound and secure way to capture data in the field using relatively inexpensive computer devices to accurately collect geographical and health related attributes quickly and with high levels of confidence.

A health inspector in the field uses ArcPad to map the location and number of mosquitoes caught by a light trap.

Transforming a public health agencies manual data collection activities into a modern information system environment requires re-engineering the way public health workers capture and transmit information—and GIS provides a sound foundation for the collection of data that is spatially relevant.

Field authenticated data using ArcPad allows the highest quality of data to become part of a public health authority's information system.
