The Health Promotion Board (HPB) was established as a statutory board under the Ministry of Health in 2001 with a vision to build a nation of healthy people. HPB organises many Health Promotion programmes and requires many tools to assist them in planning to ensure efficient outreach and maximize public resources.
The need for this GIS application came about as the current work processes at HPB is very time-consuming and they would like a custom-made application to assist in their planning. It is difficult for new colleagues to learn quickly as some technical knowledge is required, and hence very reliant on staff who are strong in using QGIS. It is a very manually intensive process now, as they are required to do analysis by selecting suitable areas for their outreach programmes and calculating their KPI on excel spreadsheets.
Our objective is to build an interactive and visual web application that utilises GIS functions for geospatial planning and analysis. It will be able to compute and analyse HPB KPI reporting metrics. The web application should be easy to use to support the staff both technical and non-technical in their many Health Promotion programme and outreach planning. It will also assist the staff in clear and easy to understand presentations to the executives who have little or no background in GIS analysis so as to be able to plan their operations.
