Healthscapes is a suite of web tools for finding, analyzing, and sharing global environmental health information. Our goal is to initiate a community-driven open source project to faciliate research on environmental linkages with global health. Our research is being applied to infectious disease outbreaks and health monitoring during natural disasters.
Our goal is to deliver relevant environmental information for health research. The Healthscapes idea emerged from the field and lab experiences of our panel of physicians, veterinarians, computer scientists, ecologists, epidemiologists, and geographers. We are based at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
