This book is born from the coming together of an environmental
mathematician/researcher with an interest in health-related issues, and
a public-sector doctor and university lecturer, specializing in medical
information processing, both teaching at the Department of Risk
Engineering and Health IT (IRIS – département d’ingénierie du risque et
informatique de santé) in the Faculty of Medicine, at the University of
Côte d’Azur (UCA). The authors have previously collaborated on writing
a collection of MCQs in mathematics and biostatistics, aimed at first-
year university students taking the classes common to all medical
students, published by Ellipses.This book offers a new perspective on health data in connection with
environmental issues – in particular, air pollution – considering
different spatial and temporal scales. It is aimed at anyone interested in
the evolution and processing of territorial health data. In writing it, the
authors opted for systemic reflection, using concrete examples from the
environmental field, rather than trying to write a coursebook, although
reminders are presented in each chapter. Whilst the book follows a
logical plan based on the historical evolution of uses of health and/or
environmental data, each chapter can be read and understood
independently of the others.The different chapters deal with the various methods used in processing
and representing health data, supporting the discussion with a review of
the academic literature produced in recent years. The goal is not to give
an exhaustive treatment of all methods used but rather to open readers’
eyes to the pros and cons of each method. Interested readers can gain
more information about the subjects of each of the larger chapters
(statistics, cartography, digital technology) by consulting the numerous
references mentioned in the text and in the bibliography.
