About Us

HSR.health has identified indicators and developed health risk indices that aid public health decision makers from global to local levels predict the spread and severity of disease as well as develop targeted mitigations for health emergencies. Our solutions involve the innovative use of geospatial technologies, advanced data science techniques, novel public health models, and the integration of data from multiple, diverse federal authoritative sources into a Health Spatial Data Infrastructure.

Our novel risk indices, used to assess and predict the likelihood of disease transmission and mortality (called the Transmission Risk Index and the Mortality Risk Index, respectively), were utilized by the World Health Organization (WHO) during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In conjunction with the WHO, we utilized these models in Africa and Central America to gain insights into the events that identify potential human-to-human transmission of a viral contagion as well as the broader market impacts stemming from transmissions.

We believe the answer to solving public health challenges lies in the power of technological innovation, especially leveraging social determinants of health data to provide insights on the why of health inequality.

We find that why with powerful data algorithms on broad sets of geocoded social, environmental, and health data, strategic partnerships that span the industry, and data-rich geospatial mapping and visualization.

GIS’ Perpetual Relevance to Health

Dr. John Snow of England in 1854 showed that the cause of a cholera outbreak in a London neighborhood could be tied to a contaminated well by examining the location of buildings in which sickened people lived. Since then disease fighters around the world have used location to find the sources of illness, the pattern of […]
