Abstract

In 2018, the Penn State Cancer Institute developed LionVu, a web mapping tool to educate and inform community health professionals about the cancer burden in Pennsylvania and its catchment area of 28 counties in central Pennsylvania. LionVu, redesigned in 2023, uses several open-source JavaScript libraries (i.e., Leaflet, jQuery, Chroma, Geostats, DataTables, and ApexChart) to allow public health researchers the ability to map, download, and chart 21 publicly available datasets for clinical, educational, and epidemiological audiences. County and census tract data used in choropleth maps were all downloaded from the sources website and linked to Pennsylvania and catchment area county and census tract geographies, using a QGIS plugin and Leaflet JavaScript. Two LionVu demonstrations are presented, and 10 other public health related web-GIS applications are reviewed. LionVu fills a role in the public health community by allowing clinical, educational, and epidemiological audiences the ability to visualize and utilize health data at various levels of aggregation and geographical scales (i.e., county, or census tracts). Also, LionVu is a novel application that can translate and can be used, for mapping and graphing purposes. A dialog to demonstrate the potential value of web-based GIS to a wider audience, in the public health research community, is needed.

LionVu:一个数据驱动的地理网络- gis工具，用于集水区的社区卫生和决策

2018年，宾夕法尼亚州立大学癌症研究所开发了LionVu，这是一个网络地图工具，用于教育和告知社区卫生专业人员宾夕法尼亚州及其中部28个县的集水区的癌症负担。LionVu将于2023年重新设计，使用几个开源JavaScript库(即:elets、jQuery、Chroma、Geostats、DataTables和ApexChart)，使公共卫生研究人员能够为临床、教育和流行病学受众绘制、下载和绘制21个公开可用的数据集。地形图中使用的县和普查区数据都是从源网站下载的，并使用QGIS插件和JavaScript链接到宾夕法尼亚州和集水区的县和普查区地理位置。介绍了两个LionVu演示，并回顾了其他10个与公共卫生相关的web-GIS应用。LionVu通过允许临床、教育和流行病学受众可视化和利用不同聚集水平和地理尺度(即县或人口普查区)的健康数据，在公共卫生界发挥了作用。此外，LionVu是一个新颖的应用程序，可以翻译和使用，用于绘图和绘图目的。需要开展对话，向公共卫生研究界更广泛的受众展示基于网络的地理信息系统的潜在价值。
