MOTIVATION
Founded in 2001, the Health Promotion Board (HPB) aims to build a nation of healthy people. Although residents in Singapore today enjoy good health with high life expectancy and low mortality rates, HPB wants to further improve the health status of the residents. To achieve this, HPB assumes the role of the main driver for national health promotion and disease prevention programmes.
To gather insights in facilitating its programme planning, HPB utilises Geospatial Information System (GIS) tools to analyze various facilities in different communities and planning areas. One of the challenges faced in implementing GIS-driven analysis is the knowledge gap and technology cost in the operational level. As such, for a more efficient adoption of GIS analysis in the operational level, HPB intends to adopt a lightweight GIS analysis tools for its HPB Programme and Outreach Executives that have limited knowledge in GIS analysis.
Hence,
PROJECT OVERVIEW
OBJECTIVES
This project aims to develop a web application that utilises Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) to facilitate Health Promotion Board in geospatial planning and analysis with specific purposes:
- Computation and analysis of HPB KPI reporting metrices
- Health Promotion programme and outreach planning
The application should also be intuitive enough for end-users to use without the needs of additional trainings. The target users are HPB programme and outreach executives that have little or no knowledge in GIS analysis.
