What Is Geomedicine?

What Is Geomedicine? At the present time, very little health-relevant geographic information is available to a clinician at the time of a medical diagnostic encounter, and it is certainly not a typical part of a comprehensive medical record. Geomedicine uses modern information technology to deliver information on a patient’s potential environmental exposures into the hands of the clinician while they are in the examination room. With geomedicine, we will experience an increase in the number of patients who benefit from a more precise clinical understanding of the links between their health and where they live, work, and play.
