City health dashboard: How to build one with GIS
Blog post from Felt
City health dashboards offer a dynamic approach to visualizing public health data by integrating diverse data sources into an interactive map-based platform, which helps public health teams identify and address community health needs more effectively. These dashboards are exemplified by the City Health Dashboard, a free resource developed by NYU Grossman School of Medicine, which organizes and displays health indicators for over 1,000 U.S. cities. By incorporating factors like housing affordability, air quality, and education, the dashboard allows users to compare local health conditions, identify disparities, and understand the underlying social and economic influences. The tool leverages GIS technology to provide spatial analysis, enabling users to explore relationships between neighborhood characteristics and health outcomes, and it facilitates real-time collaboration among public health teams through platforms like Felt. This collaborative environment supports ongoing data integration and visualization, ensuring that dashboards remain current and actionable as new data becomes available, ultimately aiding in more informed decision-making and resource allocation.
