Case Study - The Tuberculosis Research Centre (TRC) is a permanent research institute of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR),working on Tuberculosis.

Spatial Data Private Limited has built a GIS for their Model DOTS project area in Thiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu.

TRC has developed its own unique identifiers for Project Villages, and Patients tracked in the program. The GIS data layers developed in this project were joined with the related information on villages and patients that have been captured already.

The essential components for project were creation of map data, conduct GPS survey to capture Patient location village wise in the project area, Collect Socio-Economic data and build the GIS database. Spatial Data Pvt. Ltd. (Spinfo) has worked with TRC to design an appropriate GIS database with digital maps of the project area – Thiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu.

Patient locations in 218 villages in 5 Taluks of Thiruvallur district were located and collected with Patient Unique ID so that this can be associated with the Patient profile data collected by TRC based on the Patient Unique ID to enable spatial analysis.

This GIS enables officials to determine:

Patient Locations in remote village areas
Accessibility to these areas
Cluster of Patients and their response to the treatment
Patient distribution and specific patterns
