This study introduces a quick mapping technique for epidemic health data using coded city maps and street codes. This method allows for rapid data transfer and calculation of disease rates, improving public health surveillance.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Geographic Information Systems

Background:

  • Effective health information mapping is crucial for epidemic response.
  • Traditional methods can be slow and cumbersome during outbreaks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a rapid method for mapping health information during epidemics.
  • To enable efficient data transfer and analysis for public health surveillance.

Main Methods:

  • Dividing city maps into coded squares.
  • Assigning unique codes to each street corresponding to map locations.
  • Transferring health data by indicating case numbers within coded squares.
  • Calculating incidence and prevalence rates using population density data.
