Applications
- 13.2.1 Vector-Borne Disease Risk Mapping — Continuously mapping mosquito, tick and sandfly breeding habitat from orbit to predict where malaria, dengue, Zika and Leishmaniasis will strike next.
- 13.2.2 Outbreak Hotspot Detection — Using multi-source satellite data to identify environmental and demographic conditions that signal emerging infectious disease outbreaks before ground surveillance catches them.
- 13.2.3 Air Pollution Health Linkage — Correlating satellite-derived air quality measurements with population health outcomes to pinpoint pollution-driven disease burden and guide national intervention.
- 13.2.4 Water-Borne Disease Risk — Mapping flood inundation, open-water turbidity and sanitation-system stress from orbit to forecast cholera, typhoid and hepatitis E outbreak windows before cases surge.
- 13.2.5 Heat-Health Risk Forecasting — Combining satellite-derived land surface temperature, urban heat island mapping and demographic data to forecast where heat will kill people before it does.
