Unlabelled:
Health geography and geomatics have become major disciplines in the last few years and are the source of attractive concepts for medical informatics. POLESAT's e-geoplatform was built to present information and support decision-making during medical consultation. We have improved its usability with innovative and modern methodology. Results show five steps of the process. 1: we select one of three hospitals. 2: thanks to PiNoKio's anatomy, the related activity segments are displayed. 3: the activity segment "AB-Orthopedics, Rheumatology" is displayed. 4: click on "AB02-Amputations" product line and 5: go to hospital activity choropleth map.
Conclusion:
This third e-geoplatform version is a showcase for advanced open-source geomatics via web-mapping possibilities. Health management based on geography concepts, geomatics, an amusing avatar for children, health and/or geographic open data represent the technology of tomorrow. This e-geoplatform concept presents an opportunity for the serious games industry, education and will reduce health access inequalities.
