Health GIS Syllabus for B.Tech 7th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.<\/p>\n
Health GIS B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows<\/p>\n
OBJECTIVES:<\/strong><\/p>\n The course is on geospatial analysis methods in health and to the kinds of problems for\u00a0which these methods are appropriate. The course is appropriate as an elective for those\u00a0who may have no background in human sciences but who have fair knowledge in RS and\u00a0GIS and interested in questions of the health of populations in geographic context.<\/p>\n UNIT I : MAPPING DISEASE ECOLOGY<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 [9 hours] UNIT II: GEOSPATIAL DATA FRAMEWORK<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 [9 hours] UNIT III : DISEASE MAPPING \u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0 [9 hours]
\nDisease types and causes – environmental and social factors – genetic and chronic aspects –\u00a0gender and occupational bias – time and space factors in disease distribution – life cycle, statistical\u00a0curves and modelling – hazards, disasters, accidents and health. Health Care and Delivery\u00a0Systems: Health Care Systems and Delivery in India and Tamil Nadu; Medical Services and\u00a0Facilities, Health Information and Planning; Issues and Prospects \u2013 Ecosystem Approach, The\u00a0issue, The Approaches, Lessons and Successes \u2013 Future Directions<\/p>\n
