    Health Geoinformatics: Applying geospatial technologies and spatial information to health practice, research, and learning.
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Derr, Michelle
    Health Geoinformatics applies geospatial technologies and spatial information to health practice, research, and learning. Our interdisciplinary approach fuses geospatial technologies with health and community informatics to explore relationships among geography, health, and health care and to support community engagement, planning, decision-making, and health education. The current national focus on community-engaged research makes our large-scale integration of the concepts of community informatics and health informatics very significant. We apply community information and computing technologies (ICT), along with geospatial technologies, toward the enhancement of clinical and translational science research objectives, including development of better information about community factors that influence health behaviors and improved knowledge to communities for the creation and sustenance of community environments and systems that support public health.

    IUPUI Center for Health Geographics
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Bodenhamer, David J.; Wilson, Jeffrey S.; Comer, Karen Frederickson
    The IUPUI Center for Health Geographics develops and supports research innovation through integration of geographic information science, medical informatics, community informatics, and public health. Our areas of research emphasis include geospatial technologies and standards for health surveillance, spatial and temporal contexts of health behaviors and health outcomes, and space-time models for investigating disease and mortality trends. Our poster highlights our collaborations, which include interdisciplinary partnerships with investigators in the fields of geographic information science, social science, clinical epidemiology, medical informatics, and health services research.
