E-Research and GeoComputation in Public Health

Computer technology advancements are further shaping research, practice and related training in science and engineering. The chapter is seen as a key e-science and e-research study. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology, huge numbers of health-related data are generated every moment. Recent technologies like grid and cloud computing have resulted in even more than an increase in treatment efficiency. The features of this new e-research approach are discussed using the related examples in this chapter. It is argued that in a geospatial sense, specific approaches can be beneficial. The last portion of the chapter focused on various ways of growing availability of powerful e-research resources for GeoComputing and expanding.
