Healthcare systems across the globe, including in Australia, are under extreme pressure and do not always have rapid access to data in real time and up to date to consolidate and enable informed decision making, particularly with respect to effective outbreak management and public education. Access to technology including tracking apps, health information and the use of spatial analytical tools, dashboards and visualisations outputs can provide leaders and practitioners in the health care system with the opportunity to make data driven decisions. In the era of COVID19 crisis this becomes crucial to the safety of communities. This webinar covers the following topics: COVID-19 pandemic for the epidemiology and the infection prevention and control context WHO responsibilities for COVID-19 Examination of Australian responses to COVID-19 including technology such as tracking apps and other control measures Background and some examples from the literature (e.g., Dr John Snow first use of GIS in the 18th century) Research rational, how GIS or spatial technologies has been used during the COVID-19 crisis, future trends in health, GIS research in the post COVID-19 era.
