Abstract
The primary goal of this project is to examine the opportunities regarding healthcare accessibility across Nebraska. We use GIScience to examine the socio-economic status of communities throughout Nebraska along with the accessibility of internet access at home for the use of mHealth technology. GIScience analyses provide a spatial understanding of mHealth logistics and reveal the potential for its increased application in the state. This project brings together the concepts of socio-economic development and population density along with the goal of examining healthcare accessibility through mHealth adoption. As a result, new knowledge on sustainable adoption of mHealth to provide equitable access to healthcare options is presented.
