GIS

Different thematic maps can be made by using GIS.

Thus information of polluted zones, degraded lands ordiseased cropland etc. can be effectively made using thissoftware.

The techniques of remote sensing using satellitetechnologies, geographical information systems, agronomyand soil sciences are used to increase the rice output.

They also provide information of atmospheric phenomena,like approach of monsoon, ozone layer depletion many

new reserves of oil; minerals etc. with the remotesensing.

GIS play a key role in resource mapping, environmentalconservation, management, planning and environmentalimpact assessment.

Role of IT in Human Health

The information regarding outbreak of epidemicdiseases from remote areas can be sent more quicklyto the district administration to take correctivemeasures.

Many hospitals now, take on-line help of experts toprovide better treatment and services to theirpatients.

This has become possible only because of advancementof IT in the recent times.

Implementing modern day software allows nursesand doctors to create a paper trail on a patientshistory with ease.

Systems allow information to be quickly accessed byhealth care professionals as well as quickly andefficiently transferring information to third partyhealth care organizations such as insurance companies

Disaster response to mass casuality incidents (MCIs)represents one of the greatest challenges to acommunitys emergency response system.

Next generation wireless Internet and geopositioning

technologies may have the greatest impact onimproving communications, information management,and overall disaster response and emergency medicalcare.
