Abstract

Location based services are one of the leading trends in the new developments of the information technology. Their impact could be seen in the different sectors of society, especially in the health sector. Very closely connected to the new paradigm of mobility, detecting the patient locations, especially in the relation of the different decision in public health is becoming one of the most important point in location-based health information services. Contrary to isolated use of GPS and/or GIS in specific issues related with patient locations and impact to different questions/areas in public health, there is a need to formulate the integrated approach. Positioning/locating technologies with the communications networks and GIS as synergy integrator would be the base to formulate the new framework of this integrated approach.
