HealthCyberMap developed a low-cost method to dynamically link web maps with health resource metadata. This approach enables interactive database drill-downs for enhanced health information visualization online.

Area of Science:

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Health Informatics
  • Web-based Health Information Visualization
  • Semantic Web Technologies for Healthcare

Background:

  • HealthCyberMap aims to improve health information cyberspace navigation through intelligent categorization and interactive visualization.
  • Current methods using ArcView's WebView disconnect web maps from GIS databases.
  • Dedicated internet map servers are costly and complex for dynamic web map serving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, low-cost method for patching WebView to serve hypermaps with dynamic database drill-down functionality.
  • To enable HealthCyberMap to publish database-driven interactive web maps affordably.
  • To maintain the link between web-published maps and their underlying resource metadata.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementing a "patch" for ArcView's WebView to enable dynamic database connectivity.
  • Utilizing metadata and clinical codes for intelligent categorization of health resources.
  • Publishing GIS-generated navigational maps as web client-side imagemaps.

Main Results:

  • The developed method successfully publishes HealthCyberMap's GIS-generated navigational maps on the web.
  • Links between the web maps and the underlying resource metadata base are maintained.
  • The solution is effective for attribute data changes without altering map appearance.

Conclusions:

  • The HealthCyberMap map serving approach is highly successful for dynamic web map applications.
  • The method offers a cost-effective alternative to dedicated internet map servers.
  • This solution is adaptable for publishing other interactive GIS-driven maps, including real-world health problem maps.
