Statistical, Mapping and Digital Approaches in Healthcare addresses all health territories, starting from the analysis of geographical data (health data, population data, health data systems and environmental data), to new health areas (Health 3.0), i.e. digital health territories. Specific tools are used to question environmental changes, such as health statistics, mapping, mathematical models, optimization models and serious games.

• Uniquely combines the approaches of mathematicians, geographers and physician to the analysis of health territories
• Presents views that are based on an interdisciplinary framework, proposing a new look on health
• Ideal for both clinicians and policymakers

In this transdisciplinary study, Gilles Maignant and Pascal Staccini have combined their respective expertise in environmental mathematical modeling and medical information processing to deliver a unique perspective on the complex links between health and environmental issues, with a particular focus on air pollution. -- Back cover
