Mapping is the key to accessing care

Why does this matter?

Are patients and the resources they need connected?

Are patients, caregivers, and providers easily able to navigate health care?

Where is healthcare going?

Patients and providers are lost…

and maps provide the solution for both connection and direction.

We need to work together to build the most comprehensive maps that can guide us to better health.

“There have been a lot of maps bringing about awareness, but I am really curious about how maps can be used to spark action.”

The Geospatial Pharmacist

Meet the Founder & CEO bringing together health and GIS

Pharmacy, Public Health, Patient Advocacy

Dr. Jing Wu is a pharmacist and public health professional with a passion for improving the lives of all people with her understanding of how challenging healing can be as an 11-year severe traumatic brain injury survivor (TBI).

Maps and Geography

Jing was introduced to the power of geographic information systems (GIS) through trauma mortality mapping she conducted in New South Wales, Australia while on an international pharmacy research rotation with the World Health Organization (WHO). This led her to working for the Esri Health Team during the COVID-19 pandemic and now consulting with WHO in their GIS Centre for Health.
