“The Federal Communications Commission’s Connect2Health  Task Force today launched the Mapping Broadband Health in America tool (available at www.fcc.gov/health/maps), a web-based mapping tool that will enable and inform more efficient,  data-driven decision making at the intersection of broadband and health. By allowing users to ask  and answer questions about broadband and health at the county and census block levels, the tool  provides critical data that can help drive broadband health policies and connected health solutions  for this critical space. The mapping tool is an interactive experience, showing various aspects of connectivity and health  for every state and county in the United States. Users can generate customized maps that display  broadband access, adoption and speed data alongside various health measures (e.g., obesity,  diabetes, disabilities and physician access) in urban and rural areas.  These maps can be used by  both public and private sectors and local communities to identify not only gaps, but also  opportunities…”

“The Mapping Broadband Health in America tool allows users to visualize, overlay and analyze broadband and health data at the national, state and county levels. The maps are an interactive experience, enabling detailed study of the intersection between connectivity and health for every county in the United States. The resulting maps can be used by both public and private sectors, and local communities, to identify opportunities and gaps in connectivity and care.
