Abstract
Cartographic presentation of information is especially in demand and visual for covering global and regional events, as well as assessing the location of stationary and non-stationary objects in the study area. Geoinformation systems (GIS) in epidemiological surveillance of parasitic diseases provide collection, storage, processing, access to information, display and dissemination of spatially coordinated data that can be used to solve scientific and applied problems: analysis, monitoring, assessment, forecasting the spread of parasites and maintaining sanitary epidemiological well-being of the population.
Aim. To study the main stages of the history of GIS development in the world considering the possibilities of GIS application in healthcare.
Materials and methods. Scientific publications of domestic and foreign authors on the problem from 2000 to 2023 were used. The contextual search included the keywords “geographic information”, “GIS” (in Russian and English). Search tools included the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU and search engines Google and Yandex. 31 sources were found, of which 17 were domestic. Descriptive, analytical methods, the method of retrospective historical analysis, and content analysis were used.
Results. The article presents the history of GIS development in the world, consisting of four stages — the pioneer period, the period of government initiatives, the period of commercial development, the user period. The areas and examples of the use of GIS in epidemiology and in the planning of healthcare systems are given.
Conclusion. Improvement of GIS technologies and software in healthcare makes it easier to analyze data on stationary and non-stationary objects, as well as it improves quality and validity of analytical information.
