Geospatial Informatics Techniques Based Reproductive Health Surveillance System

Reproductive health has been paid more attention by international society since the concept was put forward in the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt in 1994. This paper analyzes firstly the application of geospatial information techniques, including Global Positioning System (GPS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS), in surveillance of reproductive health in China. Based on the present Electronic Reproductive Health Surveillance System (ERHSS), the solution scheme of Reproductive Health Surveillance Geographic Information System (RHS/GIS), including data architecture and organization, system logic structure and development, was discussed to integrate geospatial information techniques in the reproductive health surveillance in detail. And an applied paradigm was made to demonstrate its application effect.
