UK Geospatial Strategy - Public Health

The Geospatial Commission, part of the Cabinet Office, publishes the UK Geospatial Strategy, “Unlocking the power of location”, recognising the transformative potential of geospatial data and applications for government and the UK economy. The strategy states that “Modern location enabled technologies have huge potential to further improve public health outcomes”. It goes on to discuss designing “more targeted and informed health interventions” and, as has been seen with the John Hopkins COVID-19 dashboard, identifies the “potential to track the real-time spread of disease”.  As the worldwide market leader in location intelligence and geospatial solutions, Esri is leading the charge to realise that potential.
