Worldwide, four thousand children die every day from diseases caused by bad water and sanitation. Our team represents experts in public health, ICT, patient record security, ecosystem science, and education. GIS as a tool will monitor, track, and map safe drinking water sites, treatments, the spread of diseases and improvements/cures associated with waterborne and infectious diseases. We will track health improvements using data and GIS-based Telehealth technologies. Emphasis is placed on integrating local, regional, and national observations into a coherent information framework. Health improvement results will be available over the Internet.
