How Geographic Information System and Geospatial Technology Changed the Medical Landscape

Healthcare workers worldwide use today's technology to improve and change the landscape of the medical world. From the latest EKG to more accurate stethoscopes, doctors can help people around the world and provide the world's best health care. In the medical field, unpredictable situations that medical personnel could not resolve or decide in the past repeatedly create problems and mysteries. In the past few decades, geospatial technology has become a basic function for many health care workers and provides necessary and useful information to expand and enhance its function.

Over the past decade, we have seen unprecedented changes in the overall technology landscape. Finance, defense and information systems and technology are growing at an unprecedented rate with insufficient funds and support for education, agriculture, health and welfare services. Most of the problems we face as seeds is due to lack of harmony. We saw an unprecedented change in the overall human landscape. Some of them are irreversible, many of which are undesirable.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) plays a constantly changing role in geospatial information (GEOINT) and the national security of the United States. With these technologies, users can efficiently manage, analyze and generate geospatial data, combine GEOINT with other forms of information gathering, and analyze and visualize highly evolved geospatial data. Therefore, GIS can generate a new and reliable GEOINT to reduce decision makers' uncertainty. As the GIS program is web-based, users can work with decision makers to solve GEOINT and national security related issues from anywhere in the world. There are various kinds of GIS software used in GEOINT and National Security, such as Google Earth, ERDAS IMAGINE, GeoNetwork open source, Esri ArcGIS and others.

GRASS GIS is generally called GRASS (geographical information analysis support system) and it is a free open source for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphic and map creation, space modeling, and geographic information system Geographic Information System (GIS) software suite Visualization GRASS GIS is currently used in academic and business environments around the world, as well as many government agencies and environmental consulting firms. It is a founding member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).

What is Geospatial Collaboration? According to LPA Systems, Inc., geospatial collaboration "only uses geospatial information to collaborate" (Wolfe, Russell, Corridoni). Geospatial collaboration is a subset of geographic information systems, or what is commonly called GIS. GIS is a tool for "get, save, analyze, and display geographic information". GIS can be implemented in a variety of applications such as search and rescue to better plan and coordinate future events.
