Abstract
ABSTRACT This article elaborates on the rewards of using geographical science and technology in the domain of public health. It discusses how mapping environmental and social vulnerabilities to particular diseases can help identify areas where health resources should be focused. Additionally, the article demonstrates how the use of real-time spatial data can help inform the decisions of health policymakers and practitioners. This is illustrated using the example of dengue fever in Chennai, India.
