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 applications in the operational level, HPB intends to adopt a lightweight GIS web application to be used by HPB Programme and Outreach Executives that have limited knowledge in GIS analysis.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
To facilitate a wider adoption of GIS analysis in HPB programme planning, this project aims to build a web application that enables HPB programme planners to analyze geospatial more effectively in a less technical way as compared to using conventional desktop application, such as QGIS and ArcGIS. Because its built on the cloud, this application could be easily distributable and accessible through the web portal by the HPB end-users. Therefore, it will be significantly more efficient to adopt GIS analytics at the operational level of the HPB programme planning and analysis.
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.
