Earth Observation creates opportunities for Health & Epidemics
NOA/ BEYOND is coordinating the EuroGEO Action Group "Earth Observation for Epidemics of Vector-borne Diseases" which is linked to the GEO 2017-2019 Work Programme, especially with the Community Activities: Earth Observations for Health (EO4HEALTH) which includes vector borne infectious diseases, Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) and Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
This action group pursues to collaborate with the e-shape project and specifically with the HSAQ Pilot which aims to enhance urban resilience through timely and informed decision-making with respect to air quality and its relevance to health and urban planning by creating a service combining EO platforms and air quality, health, socioeconomic and other data with an emphasis on co-designing a service with competent stakeholders and potential end-users.
